Many of those include lines are probably unnecessary. Instead of 
these trivial patches causing churn, would you be interested in 
doing a comprehensive search to eliminate all the unused ones?
That would be a real step forward. (and this holds for your 
other patches in this series too.)

The include files section of fault.c might be a good template to 
use:

#include <linux/magic.h>		/* STACK_END_MAGIC		*/
#include <linux/sched.h>		/* test_thread_flag(), ...	*/
#include <linux/kdebug.h>		/* oops_begin/end, ...		*/
#include <linux/module.h>		/* search_exception_table	*/
#include <linux/bootmem.h>		/* max_low_pfn			*/
#include <linux/kprobes.h>		/* __kprobes, ...		*/
#include <linux/mmiotrace.h>		/* kmmio_handler, ...		*/
#include <linux/perf_counter.h>		/* perf_swcounter_*(), ...	*/

#include <asm/traps.h>			/* dotraplinkage, ...		*/
#include <asm/pgalloc.h>		/* pgd_*(), ...			*/
#include <asm/kmemcheck.h>		/* kmemcheck_*(), ...		*/

I was able to eliminate half of all include file lines there.

See latest -tip for that:

Thanks,
