Note that while merging to Linus tree marks the point at which glibc will
accept changes per:
https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Style_and_Conventions#Support_for_features_not_yet_in_the_mainstream_Linux_kernel.3F

... it is not a stable ABI until you see a Linux 4.15 with that constant
released.

Likewise the constant in glibc master is not stable until we release this
glibc on February 1st 2018.

So one should be careful that this constant is *close* to being frozen
forever by the glibc release and cannot be changed in the kernel, even
if you wanted to.
