Please add a couple of lines saying what it does and what its upstream
status is.

OK for ‘core-updates’ with this change!

Then I second John’s comment: you should propose the change upstream.
They might do it differently (by checking for the header and function at
configure time, typically), but I guess there’s no reason why they would
refuse it.

Thank you!
