+Subject: [PATCH] Fix compilation with Linux 6.6 API headers
+
+Due to some changes in cn_proc.h in Linux 6.6 headers, including and using it
+mixed with C++ code is no longer posible without specifying that the code is C
+code and must be compiled with a C compiler.
+
+Isolate all process connector related code into its own C file, which is now
+compiled using a C compiler, and adapt it to adhere to the new changes.
