We have a subset of the kernel headers that might not match the running kernel, nor be enough to build modules. They should match running kernel definitely as we do not support not syncronized kernel/world and installworld populates /usr/include. And why a subset? Don'we support old-style kernel re-build "config; make depend; make" that does not require full /usr/src tree but /usr/src/sys only?
