I don't know the answer to that.  But having done this once, I can
answer why *I* did it: Ignorance.

I didn't realize that I had to update the Kbuild file, but wrongly
assumed that creating a file somewhere in include/uapi was enough.
Maybe that's the reason for most of these errors?  Some automatic check,
or maybe even automatic fix, would be nice.  Should be pretty easy to
do.
