Yes, you could set exclusion for certain folders, say:
project/src/kernel

"src" is the source root and contains
   "kernel" as the exclusion pattern.

One of the problem is that you probably have to shutdown eclispe(I think
close/reopening) the project should also work, for the change to take effect.
There is a PR for this agains the indexer.  If this does not work
please make a new PR so we can investigate.

The other possiblity, if the @ links or top level under the folder you
could choose the source folders for the project and the indexer will not
look folder that are not source folder or not in the source folder heirarchy. 

project/
     src1/  --> set as source folder in the property page
     src2/  --> set as source folder in the property page
     kernel1/  --> normal folders i.e. non C-Folder
     kernel2/  --> normal folder i.e. non C-Folder

Again if it is not working lets make a PR so we can investigate.

Not necessary, this is one reason we introduce the source folder hierarchy.
