Yes. You're right, you should include from there.
I only said that it's a braindead idea to use new features from including
files from /usr/include/linux, because according to FHS (for example), those
include files are not the header files of a choosen kernel of force, you
should like to use (eg the example where you want to use some features of
a 2.6.x kernel which was not present in earlier versions). Some guys
here would include header files from /usr/include/linux/ and would think
that they should be 2.6.x header files. And maybe they're in their systems,
but not on systems follow FHS for example. So yes, they should include
from /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include/, as you've written.
