Thanks, not that complicated.
We indeed need to handle kernel header file in install time, but not
the raw header .h file,
likely it will be a raw text file include all structure offset/sizeof
info, this is the file I called
as kernel ABI file, its size is small in target machine.

whatever how this raw text generated, that's not the core part of design.
