The problem is that kmemcheck.h is located in include/asm-x86/ which is wrong.
[Checked master branch at mingo/linux-2.6-x86.git of now.
It should be located in arch/x86/include/asm

I think you see the bug due to a wrong symlink being created.

Anyway that symlink will soon be history - at least when we
have a few more archs that has moved to use arch/$ARCH/include
