Thanks for adding support for skipping types defined in .c files. That
is a useful feature that genksyms has.
I was also recently thinking that it would be great if genksyms could
skip definitions that are in internal header files, for example,
kernel/events/internal.h. Perhaps something that could be added in the
future..
I've noted one nit below, but the patch looks sensible to me, feel free
to use:

Nit: When I read the is_declaration() function in isolation, it is not
clear to me what determining if a definition is private has to do with
the type being a declaration. I think this and related logic in
__process_structure_type() would be easier to follow if the return value
of is_declaration() was negated and the function renamed, for example,
to is_kabi_definition().
