When kernel.h is used in the headers it adds a lot into dependency hell,
especially when there are circular dependencies are involved.

Replace kernel.h inclusion with the list of what is really being used.

Subject and description do not cover cleanup of includes besides the
kernel.h. But that does not seem like a big issue, so:
Not sure what it's supposed from me to do. The forward declarations are
the tighten part of the cleanup (*) and it's exactly what is happening here,
i.e.  replacing kernel.h "with the list of what is really being used".

*) Either you need a header, or you need a forward declaration, or rely on
   the compiler not to be so strict. I prefer the second option out of three.
