scripts: Explain the difference between linux-headers and standard-headers
If you don't know it, it's hard to figure out the difference between the linux-headers folder and the include/standard-headers folder. So let's add a short explanation to clarify the difference.

# The script will copy the headers into two target folders:
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# - linux-headers/ for files that are required for compiling for a
|
||||||
|
# Linux host. Generally we have these so we can use kernel structs
|
||||||
|
# and defines that are more recent than the headers that might be
|
||||||
|
# installed on the host system. Usually this script can do simple
|
||||||
|
# file copies for these headers.
|
||||||
|
#
|
||||||
|
# - include/standard-headers/ for files that are used for guest
|
||||||
|
# device emulation and are required on all hosts. For instance, we
|
||||||
|
# get our definitions of the virtio structures from the Linux
|
||||||
|
# kernel headers, but we need those definitions regardless of which
|
||||||
|
# host OS we are building for. This script has to be careful to
|
||||||
|
# sanitize the headers to remove any use of Linux-specifics such as
|
||||||
|
# types like "__u64". This work is done in the cp_portable function.
