[PATCH] Add CONFIG_HEADERS_CHECK option to automatically run 'make headers_check'

Browse Source 
In order to encourage people to notice when they break the exported
headers, add a config option which automatically runs the sanity checks
when building vmlinux.  That way, those who use allyesconfig will notice
failures.

help
This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
were not exported, etc.
If you're making modifications to header files which are
relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
