What does the build breakage has to do with converting the way we
use headers? There's no broken functionality as far as I can tell,
so why is the header thing defined as a "fix" to begin with?

I also don't see a single tools/ project to exclusively use tools/include
at this point.

Would you rather keep liblockdep broken for the next couple of months
until this is sorted? I really doubt I could get something (+ enough
time to soak in -next) for v4.13, so we're looking at v4.14 at the
earliest.
