Arnd Bergmann c01226c314 warn about use of uninstalled kernel headers
User applications frequently hit problems when they try to use
the kernel headers directly, rather than the exported headers.

This adds an explicit warning for this case, and points to
a URL holding an explanation of why this is wrong and what
to do about it.

# headers_install prepare the listed header files for use in
# user space and copy the files to their destination.
#
# Usage: headers_install.pl readdir installdir arch [files...]
# readdir: dir to open files
# installdir: dir to install the files
# arch: current architecture
# arch is used to force a reinstallation when the arch
# changes because kbuild then detect a command line change.
# files: list of files to check
#
# Step in preparation for users space:
# 1) Drop all use of compiler.h definitions
# 2) Drop include of compiler.h
# 3) Drop all sections defined out by __KERNEL__ (using unifdef)
