Fix problem with undefined umode_t type in 3.3 kernel headers
The 3.3 kernel headers define the umode_t type within a __KERNEL__ preprocessor ifdef region. This results in a broken kernel header in the buildroot toolchain. [Peter: This is discussed upstream here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42986 Long term socat/syslinux should stop using this header, but this hasn't been fixed upstream yet] Signed-off-by: Simon Dawson <spdawson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>

+Fix a problem with the 3.3 kernel headers. Specifically, the umode_t type
+is defined within a __KERNEL__ preprocessor ifdef region, and so the type
+is not usable by non-kernel code. Visit the following URL for more details.
