kernel headers are now included as part of glibc.

Summary: Header files for the Linux kernel.
Group: Development/Kernel
Epoch: 1
Version: %{kversion}
Release: %{krelease}
%description -n kernel-headers
Kernel-headers includes the C header files for the Linux kernel. The
header files define structures and constants that are needed for
building
most standard programs. The header files are also needed for rebuilding
the kernel.
