Red Hat's Fisher Beta has split the 2 includes, which caused an error trying
to compile a (I guess badly configured) kernel module. The header files in
/usr/include now give an error if you try to build a kernel module that gets
header files from there.

So whether they were wrong in the past or not, they are now doing things the
way you say is proper.
