+linux-headers
+=============
+
+Contains a copy of Linux UAPI kernel headers.
+When we build against an older kernel, we may
+still want to unconditionally build against a
+certain version of kernel API.
+
+These headers should be taken without modification
+from Linux.
+
+Don't include any of these these headers directly, instead
+include "libnm-std-aux/nm-linux-compat.h" which drags these
+headers in. This ensures that we include at all places our own
+patched variant, instead of the system headers.
