[dpdk-dev,v4,1/7] mk: Add rule for installing headers

  Add hierarchy-file support to the DPDK headers.

When invoking "make install-headers" headers will
be installed in: $(DESTDIR)/$(INCLUDE_DIR)
where INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/dpdk by default.

You can override INCLUDE_DIR var.
This hierarchy is based on:
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/file-hierarchy.html

What about using $(RTE_OUTPUT) here instead of $(BUILD_DIR)/build ?

With you patch, the following commands work:

  make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc
  make -j32
  make install-headers DESTDIR=install

Replacing all the occurences of $(BUILD_DIR)/build by $(RTE_OUTPUT)
would also make the following commands work:

  make config T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc O=build2
  make -j32 O=build2
  make install-headers O=build2 DESTDIR=install2

Note: the default value of RTE_OUTPUT is set to $(RTE_SRCDIR)/build
in mk/rte.sdkroot.mk

We also need to to replace other occurences of $(BUILD_DIR), please
see my comment on patch 2/7.

I think it's useless to do the [ -d $(DESTDIR)/$(INCLUDE_DIR) ] as the
'mkdir -p' will do it as well.

But maybe it could be useful to check:
  [ "$${HSLINKS}" != "" ]
This would solve the issue described by Panu about the directories
created even if they are empty.

Not sure to understand what is the meaning of HSLINK?
HS = headers?
