No, please, no ...

There's no such directory - just /usr/include/linux (for the kernel
headers against which glibc was compiled, to be used when compiling
userspace programs) and /usr/src/linux/include etc. (for the headers of
the kernel of your choice, to be used when compiling drivers for that
kernel). Don't mix the two.
