Bug 458360

Description of problem:
Applications accessing the kernel using header files generated by the kernel in the kernel-headers package.  Currently there are a handful of header files that will cause an application to fail to compile if used because inside those header files are calls to other header files that don't exist.

I have a patch that fixes those handful of header files and enables the brew build to fail if more of those files pop up.  This will allow us to catch problems earlier rather than later.

The check is worth its weight because not every application is rebuilt all the time.  When the time comes to fix an application and rebuild it, the kernel-headers used under brew may now contain broken headers causing the app to fail to build (and wasting hours of an engineers time).  Of course these headers could have been broken for months and no one would know.

So lets save a ton of stress and one big fire drill and fix these now and enable the check to prevent future problems. :-)
