Does Xorg need the kernel's DRM?

The linux kernel should not be installing anything in /usr/include/ 
drm.  Can you please be more specific about what you mean by, "when I  
enable DRM and install the kernel"?  I interpret that as enabling drm  
with 'make config' then doing the standard 'make && make  
modules_install' then copying your kernel to /boot.  None of that  
should touch /usr/include.
