    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.
