Thinking about this flow a bit more: If new features to
uapi/linux/vdpa.h are coming through Michael's tree which is not sent
via net-next, then I think this header needs to be managed like the rdma
uapi files. In that case it should be added to iproute2 as
vdpa/include/uapi/linux and you / vdpa dev's will be responsible for
managing updates. In general, this should not be a trend, but seems to
be needed since vdpa is more than just a networking tool.
