As per its instructions, I have executed 'make headers_install'. Later on, when I tried install libdrm I noticed that it tries to replace some of the headers in /usr/incldue/drm. That's all. I also found that MesaLib (required by Xorg) uses some of these headers when I build it. So, I am wondering which version of the DRM headers is right for me -- the kernel's one or libdrm's one.
