Kernel package contains headers that refer incorrectly to other headers
inside the kernel package. I would also like to check whether it is a
result of some local patches (unlikely, but possible).

There is actually a bug report in the kernel... 

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=42982

It seems that kernel people consider not copying the header to be the 
problem.

The question was how would the patch get into an official _NixPkgs_ 
repository - it looks like there is currently no process in place.
