Subject: [RFC] UAPI: Prevent kernel modules from using the exported headers

Mandriva/Mageia and SUSE have been adding an #error statement to the
/usr/include/linux/version.h header and it does trigger with broken out
of tree modules occasionally. Adding it to all exported headers should
not hurt and is easier to implement.
