No comments about the code, but given this patchset has started a policy
controversy I'll state I'm in favor of including this external header.

Not shipping this one for having a working external version but shipping
the Nvidia one for being a custom working version of the unusable shit
they made public is rewarding them for said user unfriendliness, as Mark
clearly stated in a previous thread.
So lets add this one, then figure out if we want any of them at all or
not at a later point. They all can be moved to some external repository
if needed.
