If you decide to ignore my request to avoid addition of special header
file to UAPI, at least don't copy and install that file without some
special CONFIG option (TEST_HMM ???) requested by the users. It also
will be good to get Acked-by on this change from HMM people.

However, I still think that include/uapi/linux/test_hmm.h opens
pandora box of having UAPI files without real promise to keep it
backward compatible.
