I didn't see any header in include/linux that already had these
unaligned access functions so I opted to include
asm-generic/unaligned.h. Is there a reason not to use an asm/ include
file?

asm-generic is definitely wrong; I misunderstood how these headers are
supposed to be used (should be just asm/unaligned.h).
For ordering, I took a look at some other files and it looks like
<asm/...> goes below the <linux/...> includes. This also probably
deserves documenting in the style guide.
