Subject: BUG: via_drmclient.h is referenced but does not exist

Hi David et al.

After improving the headers_check.pl script to do a
check for files included with:

	#include "foo.h"

it reported the following error:

/home/sam/kernel/knext.git/usr/include/drm/via_drm.h:34: included file '/home/sam/kernel/knext.git/usr/include/drm/via_drmclient.h' is not exported

And indeed the file via_drmclient.h does not exist in the kernel source.
We do not see any issue in the kernel as the include is guarded by:

#ifndef __KERNEL__
#include "via_drmclient.h"
#endif

But referring to a non-existing file is not the right thing to to.

We need this check as we have several places where we do:

	#include "foo.h"

in our exported headers.

So we need to fix drm somehow.

The headers_check.pl patch is included for reference.

	Sam
