results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-
xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'.

Bug description:
  Current -proposed kernel produces errors when building userspace
  packages that require ethtool.h from linux-headers.

  This was noted by Iain Lane when building systemd with this kernel:

  In file included from ../src/udev/net/ethtool-util.c:22:0:
  /usr/include/linux/ethtool.h: In function ‘ethtool_validate_speed’:
  /usr/include/linux/ethtool.h:1321:18: error: ‘INT_MAX’ undeclared (first use in this function)
    return speed <= INT_MAX || speed == SPEED_UNKNOWN;
                    ^
  /usr/include/linux/ethtool.h:1321:18: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in
