A lot of people get caught off by this, could explain why this is
necessary?

git can deal with this scenario without missing a step, format-patch
takes paths:

$ git show --oneline -s
1002f3e955d7 (HEAD) bpf: introduce new helper udp_flow_src_port

$ git format-patch HEAD~ -- tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h
0001-bpf-introduce-new-helper-udp_flow_src_port.patch

$ grep -B1 changed 0001-bpf-introduce-new-helper-udp_flow_src_port.patch 
 tools/include/uapi/linux/bpf.h | 21 +++++++++++++++++----
 1 file changed, 17 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)

$ cd ../libbpf
$ git am -p2 ../linux/0001-bpf-introduce-new-helper-udp_flow_src_port.patch
Applying: bpf: introduce new helper udp_flow_src_port
error: patch failed: include/uapi/linux/bpf.h:2853
error: include/uapi/linux/bpf.h: patch does not apply
...

Well, the patch doesn't apply to libbpf right now, but git finds the
right paths and all that.

IMO it'd be good to not have this artificial process obstacle and all
the "sync headers" commits in the tree.
