[patch] 2.4.12 optionally prevent kbuild reading /usr/include

[Keith Owens]

A few bits of kernel code are incorrectly reading from /usr/include,
giving different results on different distributions.  kbuild 2.5 will
prevent this, all include files must be in the kernel tree.  The patch
below (for 2.4.12 but fits 2.4.13-pre3) defines kbuild_2_4_nostdinc.
Linus, please add to 2.4.13-prex.

The various maintainers can optionally check that their code is not
reading from outside the kernel, see the comments in the patch.  I
strongly recommend that maintainers check their code now, even if it is
only on their own machine.  There is no need to patch the sub Makefiles
in Linus's tree, as long as the code has been tested.

Based on a suggestion by Christoph Hellwig.
