Hi Shuah,
Sorry but this is wrong. The contents of include/uapi are not the same as the
exported kernel headers.
Mixing the unprocessed kernel headers with user headers leads to all sorts of
mess, eg:
$ cc -I../../../../include/uapi -I../../../../usr/include/ kcmp_test.c -o kcmp_test

If you want to make it easier to build tests that need the kernel headers then
maybe kselftest should depend on headers_install?
cheers
