Ah, I assumed he was talking about both. Ben, do I understand correctly 
that the .so files shouldn't go in linux-headers because you want to use 
*linux-headers* for cross-compiling, meaning everything in linux-headers 
should be usable by the build arch instead of target arch? If this is 
the case, then I would also ask Miguel if the .rmeta files can be used 
from another architecture for cross-compiling. I think the .rmeta files 
can only be used with the same rustc that compiled the kernel crates? 
Don't know exactly which checks are performed on the compiler, are they 
only version checks?
