thanks, applied.

btw., people have been talking about reducing the include file mess 
for nearly a decade now,

Some of us are actually doing it. ;-)

sorry, this was really not meant to slight your contributions in this 
area in any way :-) I'm just judging by the spaghetti still hanging 
around in asm-x86/*.h, and the 'fun' we have with paravirt and its type 
dependencies - and the periodic messups we have with macros. (and many 
macros are not inlines due to ugly dependencies.)

So include file dependency flattening patches would be more than 
welcome as well.

Yup! Provided they're compile-tested sufficiently well.

as long as it builds/boots on your box with a single convenient .config 
of yours, we can stick such patches into x86.git and work out all the 
build failures it might cause.

(and unlike unification patches they have no expectation of being 
100% perfect, so a natural ping-pong of fixes, until the changes are 
fully correct, would be natural.)

That way you'll never clean anything especially during merge window. 
;-)

hm, what do you mean?
