Ioctl generation with linux HEAD fails #56
Description
@joshtriplett As a followup to #53, I was investigating running the generator script with linux HEAD, but I'm hitting this error:
list.c: In function ‘list’:
include/linux/ext4.h:47:54: error: invalid application of ‘sizeof’ to incomplete type ‘struct compat_ext4_new_group_input’
47 | #define EXT4_IOC32_GROUP_ADD _IOW('f', 8, struct `)
| ^~~~~~
It seems compat_ext4_new_group_input isn't defined in the uapi headers, but EXT4_IOC32_GROUP_ADD isn't usable without it. Should compat_ext4_new_group_input be moved into uapi?

groan, you're right. There were issues with defining
compat_ext4_new_group_input, so I ended up dropping it, and the kernel compiles without having a definition of it.Does the generator script work if you don't request that ioctl? Or does this require fixing the header?

Commenting out that one ioctl allows the script to succeed. I've now done that and published a 0.3.6-head.0 prerelease based on the current linux master branch.
