I just went through this and there is a reason for these extra includes.

Basically this patch is modifying peer.h so that it now requires 
packet.h as dependency.

To reduce the includes complexity I am adding as many includes as 
possible to .c files only, therefore the dependency needs to appear in 
every .c file including peer.h, rather than adding the include to peer.h 
itself.

This was my interpretation of Andrew Lunn's suggestion, but I may have 
got it too extreme.

Opinions?
