I don't understand why you care about the include file ordering.

Also, since this file uses things from linux/types.h, I would argue
that we need the explicit include of linux/types.h.  Just imagine if
someone at a later date reomves the linux/types.h include from
linux/limits.h (however unlikely that is).

Just do your bug fix.
