Sorry, maybe I did not understand this comment. Currently
include/uapi/linux/dm-log-userspace.h is in uapi headers and thus exported
to userspace and has this bug/feature which breaks a build.
Are you saying that it should not be exported to userspace at all and it
should be moved back to include/linux/dm-log.h?
I can prepare such a change instead.

Sorry, I'm touching too many uapi headers with similar changes
so I can't Cc that many mailing lists and individuals with the cover
letter, but it is available here:
