Having this as a separate commit ahead of the functionality breaks
bisecting.
The uAPI should be exposed in similar sized chunks as it's implemented.
If it has to go in as single patch, that should be after all the
plumbing is already in place.
That also gives a clear indication to anybody backporting that you
need to backport until the uAPI patch.
Regards, Joonas
