Right, but the first sentence there is
"This header has combined a lot of unrelated to each other stuff."

Can you explain how you use in your code all that unrelated stuff?
For example, how do you use *trace_*() calls? Or maybe might_*() calls?
or anything else that is directly provided by kernel.h?

Besides IWYU principle above, it's good to have a justification for each
inclusion the C file has. I believe there is no a such in _this_ case.
