You can't do that in user-visible headers. CONFIG_LANTIQ isn't defined
in t he userspace builds, so userspace will get a version *without* the
additions, and its ABI will be different to that of the kernel.

And even if it *did* work that way, you'd still end up needing a
*different* build of userspace tools like pppd, depending on the
platform it's going to be run on.

If you really need these new fields to be visible to userspace, then I
think the best option is to add a *new* SO_ATMQOS2 sockopt, and leave
the original SO_ATMQOS entirely alone.
