This header seems to be included both from user space code and BPF
code, so it probably is for the better to not include specific headers
and rely on respective code to provide "basic" type definitions like
__u32. (For BPF side they might be coming from vmlinux.h, for example,
which won't be compatible with anything included in user space code).
