Like this:

diff --git a/scripts/Makefile.headersinst b/scripts/Makefile.headersinst
index 3a630c2..7c06dcf 100644
--- a/scripts/Makefile.headersinst
+++ b/scripts/Makefile.headersinst

 # Use this to build a list of headers which require a wrapper
-wrapper-files := $(filter $(generic-export-y), $(generic-y))
+wrapper-files := $(filter $(header-y), $(generic-y))
 
 # all headers files for this dir
-header-y      := $(filter-out $(wrapper-files), $(header-y))

 input-files   := $(addprefix $(_src)/,$(header-y)) \
                  $(addprefix $(objtree)/$(obj)/,$(objhdr-y))


And then reverting the changes to Kbuild.asm.
Yes this works - and is much simpler. Good!

I originally wanted to know wat set of files I worked
with but this is not needed.

I will test it a bit more tonight and post a v3 of the patchset.

Thanks for the review!
