There's a way to deal with arch/um without > that kind of contortions, provided that we are willing to use -idirafter. For kernel proper the use of -idirafter would be confusing. But for um alone we should be safe provided it is properly commented. I have already fixed um the obvious way for asm-offsets in my local tree. But if you prefer I can add a -dirafter based patch before the "move asm-offsets.h to incldue/generated" patch.
