Hi Alexandre,

Thank you for reviewing the kernel patch [PATCH 1/2].
We are still not sure if we could include linux headers files from 
kernel source directory by the following change ?

-CFLAGS += -O3 -Wl,-no-as-needed -Wall
+CFLAGS += -O3 -Wl,-no-as-needed -Wall -I../../../../usr/include/

Thank you,
Joseph.
