We have already talked about this. If a patch that causes the implicit
include to vanish is backported to stable, it will reveal the missing
header here and will result in backporting this patch as well. So, as a
good practice let's allow this patch to be queued to stable, it will
avoid possible compilation errors.

I guess Mark has to break the tie again. Or Greg if he cares, I added
him in To:.

Yes, because in patch 3/4 I use u8 and u16 and I don't want to use those
without having the header included. Do you find this wrong?
