Should we just move it to include/linux/ and out of the uapi headers entirely
then? It sounds like it's not actually an ABI but just the definition of the
data layout that is not included by anything from user space.

We are a bit inconsistent here already, e.g. btrfs has all its structures
in uapi, but ext4 does not.
