AFAIK, headers found in /include/asm-generic directory is for architechture
independent (probably shared across architectures) code. Most likely you do
not need to include these headers directly, instead we include these headers
indirectly via architecthure dependent headers.
OTOH, /include/linux directory is for generic header files to define interfaces
between components of the kernel. In most situations, you will find all the
kernel functionalities you need in these headers.
