Luis, I concur that the link is now broken. However that link is actually simply superfulous now. Anything correctly using kernel 'external module' support will be using the -I path from the kernel Makefiles. They will therefore be including from /usr/src/<version>/include _and_ /usr/src/<version>/arch/x86/include. I presume this is why we have not noticed it.
I will get that link removed however as it is simply bogus.
