It needs to either be $(srctree)/$(src)/hidden.h, or we should add
-I $(srctree)/$(src) to the KBUILD_CFLAGS. The latter option is added
automatically when building in a separate builddir with O=${KOBJ} (which
is how I, and I assume Ard, was testing), but for some reason is not
added when building in-tree. The -include option doesn't automatically
search the directory of the source file.

-include file Process file as if "#include "file"" appeared as the first
line of the primary source file.  However, the first directory searched
for file is the preprocessor's working directory instead of the
directory containing the main source file.  If not found there, it is
searched for in the remainder of the "#include "..."" search chain as
normal.
