"""This script transforms the structs inside the kernel ABI headers into a define
of an anonymous struct.

eg
  struct abc {int foo;};
becomes
  #define _STRUCT_abc struct {int foo;};

This allows the exact same struct to be included in the provider wrapper struct:

struct abc_resp {
   struct ibv_abc ibv_resp;
   _STRUCT_abc;
};

Which duplicates the struct layout and naming we have historically used, but
sources the data directly from the kernel headers instead of manually copying."""
