SubjectRe: 2.6.7-bk: asm/setup.h and linux/init.h
Could someone speak a few words on why a patch such as this is
desirable?

Apparently, there is more value to avoiding non-essential include's than
I realize. I'd have preferred doing a memcpy of "sizeof(some_struct)"
over doing it for SOME_STRUCT_SIZE constant, and I'd have thought it
appropriate to include whatever header files were needed to do that.

The simple "wc -l" size of the kernel source goes up a couple of lines,
the code complexity is unchanged, and the generated code is unchanged.
So obviously none of those factors motivate this change.
