It's defined in the barebox version of this file, but not in
/usr/include/linux/kernel.h which would be used for compiling programs
for the host. Adding a -I$(srctree)/include to the host compiler options
is also something we don't want.
What other options do we have to avoid duplicating these over and over
again? Maybe adding a scripts/include directory which contains such
useful defines? I just found tools/include in the Linux Kernel which
already has a collection of such defines. Maybe this is a good starting
point.
