No we won't: kernel building includes things from the Linux source
tree's includes directory, not /usr/include/asm, so what people have in
/usr/include/asm/ptrace.h should be irrelevant.

(I have now reproduced this failure both with and without the skas patch
in the headers installed via `make headers_install'.)

Or is it that userspace stuff includes /usr/include/asm/*, kernelspace
stuff includes include/asm-{whatever} from the kernel tree, but nothing
includes both, so we need *some* things in some third location where
both can see them?

(If that's so, I don't see how my patch built at all. Hm.)
