Maybe Andy has some thoughts, he has been working on dropping
unnecessary includes of kernel.h, it seems.

It'd be cool to plug something that'd warn us about significant
increases in dependencies into the patchwork build bot.

I have one more small series which un-includes uapi/bpf.h from
netdevice.h at which point I hope we'll be largely in the clear 
from build bot performance perspective.
