The style as I have understood it is that each .h file in include/linux/ are supposed to be self-contained. So it includes what is needs, and the 'what it needs' are kept small.
Keeping the 'what it needs' part small is a challenge resulting in smaller .h files. But also a good way to keep related things together.
