Now that the list of required generic headers is in a Kbuild file, it
would be better to let make parse it, instead of enforcing one way to
construct the list (it is the preferred way, but C files that do not
conform to Documentation/CodingStyle are not rejected by the compiler
either). I will post a patch when I'm back online in the evening.
