This sort of patch isn't as interesting as actually fixing the mess
known as include/linux/sched.h and include/linux/sched.h... Most places
in the kernel don't actually need the majority of sched.h, just a handful
of functions like set_task_state(). fs.h is another tangled web of
dependancies. I did some experimenting back in the 2.2 days and it was
possible to cut something like 10-20% off the kernel build time.

That said, it's a big job.
