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

377 This option will extract the user-visible kernel headers whenever
378 building the kernel, and will run basic sanity checks on them to
379 ensure that exported files do not attempt to include files which
380 were not exported, etc.

382 If you're making modifications to header files which are
383 relevant for userspace, say 'Y', and check the headers
384 exported to $(INSTALL_HDR_PATH) (usually 'usr/include' in
385 your build tree), to make sure they're suitable.
