This commit can be considered an addition to commit ca7e324e8ad3
("compiler_types: add Endianness-dependent __counted_by_{le,be}") [1].
In the commit referenced above the __counted_by_{le,be}() attributes
were defined based on platform's endianness with the goal to that the
structures contain flexible arrays at the end, and the counter for,
can be annotated with these attributes.
So, this commit only provide UAPI macros for UAPI structs that will
gain annotations for __counted_by_{le, be} attributes. And it is the
previous step to be able to use these attributes in UAPI.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
