Huh? I just did a 'git pull' of Linus's tree, and I see fault.c looking like:

#include <linux/signal.h>
#include <linux/sched.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/errno.h>
#include <linux/string.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <linux/ptrace.h>
#include <linux/mmiotrace.h>
#include <linux/mman.h>
#include <linux/mm.h>
#include <linux/smp.h>
#include <linux/interrupt.h>

Not sure how it's sorted, but it's appparently not by length first.  Also,
wouldn't logical interdependency count for something here, including stuff
in the order needed?
