Merge tag 'uapi-prep-20121002' of git://git.infradead.org/users/dhowells/linux-headers



Pull preparatory patches for user API disintegration from David Howells:
 "The patches herein prepare for the extraction of the Userspace API
  bits from the various header files named in the Kbuild files.

  New subdirectories are created under either include/uapi/ or
  arch/x/include/uapi/ that correspond to the subdirectory containing
  that file under include/ or arch/x/include/.

  The new subdirs under the uapi/ directory are populated with Kbuild
  files that mostly do nothing at this time.  Further patches will
  disintegrate the headers in each original directory and fill in the
  Kbuild files as they do it.

  These patches also:

   (1) fix up #inclusions of "foo.h" rather than <foo.h>.

   (2) Remove some redundant #includes from the DRM code.

   (3) Make the kernel build infrastructure handle Kbuild files both in
       the old places and the new UAPI place that both specify headers
       to be exported.

   (4) Fix some kernel tools that #include kernel headers during their
       build.

  I have compile tested this with allyesconfig against x86_64,
  allmodconfig against i386 and a scattering of additional defconfigs of
  other arches.  Prepared for main script
