Hmm?

I'm talking about scripts/update-linux-headers.sh in the qemu tree.
That does a "rm -rf" followed by copying over the bits from linux
kernel.  So when switching from my virtio-input branch back to master
(in the linux kernel source tree) and re-running the script the header
file will disappear ...

Sounds like you are talking about something completely different.
