Public bug reported:
Cannot build a kernel module, errors in Linux headers using the current
RC4 (also tried RC3, and daily) mainline kernel packages from
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline
Am able to build against a 5.4-rc4 kernel level directly from upstream kernel
git repo (on a different platform).
To recreate error:
Install linux headers, etc from current 5.4 RC. (used 5.4.0-050400rc4
dated 10/20 for this test)
