Subject: header circular dependencies

`make headerdep` is full of printk.h circular dependencies, like

include/kvm/arm_vgic.h:18: warning: recursive header inclusion
In file included from linux/printk.h,
                from linux/dynamic_debug.h:188
                from linux/printk.h:555 <-- here

I'm wondering if it's a false positive?
In either case, can we teach the headerdep not to complain by fixing
the culprit?
