Public bug reported:
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.
