This patch is killing me.

In file included from include/linux/compat.h:18,
                 from include/linux/filter.h:9,
                 from include/linux/seccomp.h:9,
                 from include/linux/sched.h:39,
                 from arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c:9:
/usr/src/25/arch/x86/include/asm/compat.h: In function 'arch_compat_alloc_user_space':
/usr/src/25/arch/x86/include/asm/compat.h:301: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Problem is, compat.h's arch_compat_alloc_user_space() needs sched.h for
task_struct but as you can see from the above include tree, sched.h
includes seccomp.h and everything falls over.  The preprocessed code
contains the definition of arch_compat_alloc_user_space() *before* the
definition of task_struct.

This is a basic x86_64 "make clean; make allmodconfig; make".

I had a few slashes at fixing it but got all frustrated.
