error: linux/kd.h: No such file or directory when building on non-arch platforms

I received the following:

Per this github thread, you need to init the submodule.

#13

cd build-linux
git submodule update --init
make

Posting here in the event this helps anyone else. This appears to happen on non-arch versions of Linux (at least, centos and ubuntu).
