You know, that the in-kernel headers should not be used? |

You don't. Really. The kernel headers which come with the source tarball are |
| 21 |
not a good choice for userspace. Don't do it, you don't have a compelling |
| 22 |
reason. And if you have a very good reason for the in-kernel headers (like |
| 23 |
app X needs them), it is a bug. |
