Accidentially I left an older hack in my patch:
+headers_check_all: headers_install headers_install_all
                    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+       $(Q)$(MAKE) $(hdr-inst)=include HDRCHECK=1


This made us install both to asm/ and asm-x86 (as this is an x86 box).

I will remove this hack before hitting kbuild-next.
