Subject: [PATCH] x86: break mutual header inclusion

Hi,

What do you think about this? The new file (vm86_mask.h) could actually be
embedded completely in processor-flags.h, but I went for what I believe is
the safer approach.

This has been compile tested on x86_32 and x86_64 defconfig.

Subject: [PATCH] x86: break mutual header inclusion

This breaks up the mutual inclusion between headers ptrace.h and vm86.h
by moving what's needed by both files into a new (minimal) file
vm86_mask.h.

We also move #include lines to the top.
