Agree.

The problem is that this suddenly requires users to do a 'make headers_install' in
order to populate usr/include/ directory in the first place. While it's annoying
enough for BPF samples where this is needed, I absolutely don't want to introduce
this for BPF kselftests. It's the wrong approach. Besides, in tools infra, there is
a tools/arch/*/include/uapi/asm/bitsperlong.h header copy already, so we really need
to use that instead. Please adapt your patch accordingly and respin. Please also Cc
us and netdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx for BPF kselftests changes.

Thanks,
Daniel
