So as David already argued, the current thing does not in fact help with
b. You just have to install once and the error goes away, then carry
that tree for a year and you're running old crap again.

My biggest beef with the whole thing is that I simply do not want to use
'make headers', it doesn't work for me.

I have a ton of output directories and I don't care to build tools into
the output dirs, in fact some of them flat out refuse to work that way
(bpf comes to mind).

Going with that, then, I believe it is best to simply revert commit
9fc96c7c19df ("selftests: error out if kernel header files are not
yet built"). And then follow up with a series of (many) changes to
wean the various selftests off of the kernel headers.

I'll post the revert shortly.
