Ah, I see. I had built the kernel with CONFIG_HEADERS_INSTALL and so
this was already done for me.

The proposed Makefile solution seems a bit unusual. What about this
less complicated solution to just make this case work?

I was a bit surprised this was even as tricky as the KHDR_INCLUDES
part. The other tests seem to be fine only because they use old header
definitions that have been there forever. So it seems like the proper
way to build the selftests should involve building the headers. So
alternatively, why not just always encourage building the headers
before running the selftests by warning if
${abs_srctree}/usr/include/linux is not found?

Do either of those seem any better?
