Bug description:
  In #1327619 you added UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI which works for your ubuntu kernels. 
  I am also using the kernels from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ mostly for testing compatibility with mainline kernels and with your kernel  3.16.0-031600rc5-generic I am getting the following error:

  /home/hauke/compat-wireless/tmp/backport-include/linux/skbuff.h:333:56: note: in expansion of macro ‘UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI’
       !(LINUX_VERSION_CODE == KERNEL_VERSION(3,13,11) && UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI > 30)

  
  The code in the affected line in skbuff.h:333 looks like this:
  #if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3,14,0) && \
      RHEL_RELEASE_CODE < RHEL_RELEASE_VERSION(7,0) && \
      !(LINUX_VERSION_CODE == KERNEL_VERSION(3,13,11) && UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI > 30)
  ....
  #endif

  In the mainline kernel versions I do not need UTS_UBUNTU_RELEASE_ABI. I would suggest you add  the EXTRAVERSION into some header.
  I assume most of the APIs are changed in the ubuntu stable kernels like 3.13.11.4 and not in the kernels like 3.13.0-32 which is based on it.
