+# headers_install prepare the listed header files for use in
+# user space and copy the files to their destination.

+# Usage: headers_install.pl readdir installdir arch [files...]
+# readdir:    dir to open files
+# installdir: dir to install the files
+# arch:       current architecture
+#             arch is used to force a reinstallation when the arch
+#             changes because kbuild then detect a command line change.
+# files:      list of files to check
+#
+# Step in preparation for users space:
+# 1) Drop all use of compiler.h definitions
+# 2) Drop include of compiler.h
+# 3) Drop all sections defined out by __KERNEL__ (using unifdef)
