Hmm, is it then normal to use on non-Linux code like this?

#include <linux/dma-buf.h>
#include "linux-dmabuf-unstable-v1-client-protocol.h"

struct zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1 *dmabuf;
struct zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1 *dp;

dmabuf = ecore_wl2_display_dmabuf_get(ewd);
dp = zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1_create_params(dmabuf);
zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_add(dp, db->fd, 0, 0, db->stride, 0, 0);
buf = zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_create_immed(dp, db->w, db->h,
format, flags);
wl_buffer_add_listener(buf, &buffer_listener, db);
zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_destroy(dp);

static void
_create_succeeded(void *data EINA_UNUSED,
struct zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1 *params,
struct wl_buffer *new_buffer)
{
wl_buffer_destroy(new_buffer);
zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_destroy(params);
}

zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_destroy(params);
struct zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1 *dp;

dp = zwp_linux_dmabuf_v1_create_params(ewd->wl.dmabuf);
zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_add(dp, buf->fd, 0, 0, buf->stride, 0, 0);
zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_add_listener(dp, &params_listener, ewd);
zwp_linux_buffer_params_v1_create(dp, buf->w, buf->h,
DRM_FORMAT_ARGB8888, 0);

Is this some sort of Linux KMS/DRM specification that keeps explict
"linux" name hardcoded and we have them too on FreeBSD named that way?
Never seen anything like this :-)

Will look into this in a free moment and report back! Does this mean
we only put that header and things start workin? ;-)

Thank you Greg!! :-)
