From: Richard Weinberger richard@nod.at Date: Sun, 28 Jun 2015 22:55:26 +0200 Subject: um: Fix out-of-tree build
From: Richard Weinberger richard@nod.at
commit 0b5aedfe0e6654ec54f35109e1929a1cf7fc4cdd upstream.
Commit 30b11ee9a (um: Remove copy&paste code from init.h) uncovered an issue wrt. out-of-tree builds. For out-of-tree builds, we must not rely on relative paths. Before 30b11ee9a it worked by chance as no host code included generated header files.
