Kernel 3.7.* Problerm

I used the following method since 2.4 version
1. copy .config from the old kernel
2. make oldconfig
(2-1. make dep)
3. make && make modules && make modules_install && make install
and then change the symbolic link of kernel header in /usr/include
to the compiled kernel header.
Works well from 2.4.0 up to 3.6.11

The problem is that
3.6.11----->3.7.0 is OK
3.7.0 ----->3.7.1 not OK
3.7.1----->3.7.3 not OK

The point is that kerhel header is devided
into two parts linux/include/linux,
linux/include/uapi/linux.

The solution is that I always change the kernel
header includes to point 3.6.11, and compile 3.7.3

There are many applications using linux kernel header,
and I add the following in Makefile
-I/usr/include/uapi, where uapi is symbolically linked to
the kernel/include/uapi, for example I tested netfilter.

Is there any good reason of the division of the kernel headers?
Or is there any good solution?.
