Hmm... wrong idea...

/usr/include/linux

no! /usr/include is userspace, which shall never use kernel headers.
the headers you find in /usr/include that *look* like kernel headers
are in fact from glibc.

No.
The headers in /usr/include/linux "belong to" glibc and should never be
changed, as it may cause newly compiled programs to break in nasty and
subtle ways.
kernelnewbies.org has a nice FAQ item on this.

Hi all,
After upgrading to a newer version of the kernel, should I also copy/update the include folder to /usr/include?
Cheers
Neo
