Hi all,

As some of you may know there some subtle distinction between C and C++ 
structs, thus one should wrap/annotate them roughly like below.


...
#if defined(__cplusplus)
extern "C" {
#endif

struct foo {
    int bar;
    ...
};

...

#if defined(__cplusplus)
}
#endif


In order to work around the lack of these users can wrap the header 
inclusion in the same way. For example:


...
#if defined(__cplusplus)
extern "C" {
#endif

#include <i915_drm.h>

#if defined(__cplusplus)
}
#endif


Yet we should avoid this approach, as it might cause issues [1] [2] [3]. 
Thus here is a series which systematically updates all the UAPI headers 
in one go.

I would prefer if we get this merged in one go. Daniel, is it possible 
to go through drm-misc ? The series is already based on it.

Maintainers, does this sound reasonable, can we get a few acks ?


Thanks
Emil
