once upon a time, i *did* scan the source tree to verify that any
source file that used a R/W semaphore did, in fact, include the
rwsem.h file, and i found only one file that needed tweaking:

    [PATCH] QUOTA: Have <linux/quota.h> include <linux/rwsem.h> explicitly

    Since quota.h declares a R/W semaphore, it should include rwsem.h
    explicitly.

    Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@...dspring.com>
    Acked-by: Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>
    Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>
    Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@...ux-foundation.org>

that suggests that any breakage should be minimal.
