Thanks!
Right. To explain it a bit further for the author of the patch:
Some samples makefiles use this -I usr/include pattern.
That's different. This local "usr/include" is a result of 'make
headers_install'.
For samples and such it's ok to depend on that, but bpfilter is
the part of the kernel build.
It cannot depend on the 'make headers_install' step,
so the fix has to be different.

It was my fault. I was sloppy in the past and didn't pay enough attention
to bpfilter and it started to bitrot because Dave was applying patches
with his normal SLAs while I was silent.
