2.6.28-rc2-mm1 make fails at Documentation/lguest/lguest.c  Two
includes have bad paths: line 34 #include <zlib.h> (maybe should be
linux/zlib.h?), and line 47 #include "asm-x86/bootparam.h"

Are incorrect paths related to this recent gitignore of lguest.c (see
first cut below)?

asm-x86 has no bootparam.h; is this related to 2007 mm-commit list
concerning "allow asm-x86 to be included from userspace?" (see second
cut below)

The patch titled
    Make asm-x86/bootparam.h includable from userspace
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
    make-asm-x86-bootparamh-includable-from-userspace.patch

This patch was dropped because because of rejects

Subject: Make asm-x86/bootparam.h includable from userspace
From: Rusty Russell <rusty at rustcorp.com.au>

To actually write a bootloader (or, say, the lguest launcher) currently
requires duplication of these structures.  Making them includeable from
userspace is much nicer.

We merge the common userspace-required definitions of e820_32/64.h into e820.h
for export.
