Kernel headers are primarily used to support glibc. To ease migration
from 2.2.x to 2.4.x, 7.0 includes a glibc compiled against 2.4.x kernel
headers along with the 2.4.x headers required for development.
If you are doing kernel development, you should install the kernel-source
rpm package, or download a copy of the kernel source from kernel.org.
Those include full headers for kernel module development.
