Yes, you're right.  My confusion arose because we have two distinct 
needs for a "kernel directory":

1. A build directory for the external module (which really needs to be a 
kernel directory)
2. A directory with the exported userspace headers (like /usr/include)

We are using one directory for both.  Once we separate this, the mess 
should be cleared up.
