So some of the background. With the "linux-header" package in v4.4.x, arm is still really a 2nd class arch next to x86. As not everything get's fully (correctly) generated in the header package. Some of this is still related to the device-tree and multi-arch changeover. With mainline (v4.13.0-rc5) things are getting better on every major release. (v4.4.x is better then v4.1.x/v3.14.x) So what i recommend users do, first install "linux-headers-`uname -r`" and try building your module. It should work in simplistic cases, however if it fails, you'll need the full kernel source to do your module build. (in which case the yakbuild scripts are the easiest way to grab any release)..
