+All headers under include/uapi/, include/generated/uapi/,

-	The convention is to list one file per line and

+	--- 7.1 no-export-headers
 
-	Subdirectories are visited before their parent directories.
+	no-export-headers is essentially used by include/uapi/linux/Kbuild to
+	avoid exporting specific headers (e.g. kvm.h) on architectures that do
+	not support it. It should be avoided as much as possible.

-	genhdr-y specifies generated files to be exported.
-	Generated files are special as they need to be looked
-	up in another directory when doing 'make O=...' builds.
+	genhdr-y specifies asm files to be generated.
