This commit broke build on CentOS 5: a7205fc9d77b13a161da1502bd0988db8b9b5971

linux/ethtool.h is included in psutil/_psutil_linux.c but without defining the types first as in psutil/arch/linux/net.c:

// see: https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/issues/659

ifdef PSUTIL_ETHTOOL_MISSING_TYPES

#include <linux/types.h>
typedef __u64 u64;
typedef __u32 u32;
typedef __u16 u16;
typedef __u8 u8;

endif

According to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CentOS CentOS 5 was released in 2007 (!) and support ended on 2017. Too old. :)

Closing as won't fix.
