/usr/include/{linux,asm} is userspace, not kernel space. It's
bogus to even expect it to be valid for building kernel modules.
While it may be reasonable for a kernel module to default to
/usr/src/linux/include/{linux,asm} but it's not reasonable for a kernel
module to expect that user space has the right includes.
