Ok. But this raises one more question:
Why are the asm/linux-Includes both provided in kernel-headers AND
kernel-source?
Couldn't the "few" different files be generated on demand, especially
the
module versions, which do not work for SMP kernels anyway without
reconfiguring
the source tree... (and modifying the Makefile...)
So long,
