arch/arm/kernel/setup.c doesn't need either of these includes.  The
reason I didn't want to just remove the include and magic the error
away is because of the obvious fragility of the current situation,
which really needs solving.

As this is the only report of this breakage, I'm inclined to go
with your first suggestion: leave it unfixed in 3.2 and fix it in
-stable once it's been in visible for a bit.
