Right -- no idea why I forgot to include them.

OPEN_HOW_SIZE_VER0 could conceivably be useful (in the future we may do
size-based checks) but maybe we can just expose it if someone actually
ends up needing it.
I will move them to the in-kernel header (we use them for BUILD_BUG_ONs
to make sure that the sizes are correct).
