If the kernel headers aren't installed we can't build all the tests.
Add a new make target rule 'khdr' in the file lib.mk to generate the
kernel headers and that gets include for every test-dir Makefile that
includes lib.mk If the testdir in turn have its own sub-dirs the
top_srcdir needs to be set to the linux-rootdir to be able to generate
the kernel headers.

I sent this (v5) a month ago and wondered if it got lost. Resending
unchanged.

Cheers,

Why did it go in at rc5?

This patch has been in linux-next for a sometime before I decided to send this.
My original intent was to send this for rc2, and my schedule was messed up with
traveling. Since I didn't hear any issues from linux-next soaking, I made a call
on sending this in for rc5.

OK. And I didn't notice the breakage in linux-next because _I_ was
travelling :)

On second thought I should have waited until 4.20. Sorry about that.

Yeah that would have been better, no worries.

cheers
