Thanks for the explanation. I think that we want to apply _any_ patches
even for the kernel-headers, since a later applied patch could render
parts of the headers to be incorrect ?). Can you please try to apply
$(BR2_BOARD_PATH)/kernel-patches/linux-$(LINUX_HEADERS_VERSION)*.patch*
in kernel-headers-new.makefile and after successful verification send
the patch to me? TIA

?) Suppose i have a patch that removes the VT layer. This patch would
lead to inconsistency if applied after the headers are installed.
