Hi-
I'll suggest a few things for you.
cd to your linux tree and 'make modules'
Look at the gcc compile string there.
Try to copy it closely.
I added -I/path/to/linux/include and -D__KERNEL__
and compiled your module with no problem.
If you had included the complete messages, we could have
seen that it was using /usr/include/linux for header files
instead of header files from linux/include/* .
(at least that's what it did on my system)
