Hi Stephen,

That sounds like a reasonable explanation. What's the right way to do
this? I suppose I had incorrectly assumed that the include path would be
set by the build system to the kernel tree being built. The other
samples seem to do the same thing (simply #including whatever they
need), and don't seem to do anything special with include paths to make
it use the current tree.

Maybe Randy can shed some light.

Sorry for the bother,

Alan.
