When kernel.h is used in the headers it adds a lot into dependency hell, especially when there are circular dependencies are involved.
Replace kernel.h inclusion with the list of what is really being used.

Thanks!
It's a month passed without any other news about this patch. Is this a problem in the MAINTAINERS database?
Who should take this?

If you needed to add me to the CC I've not seen the patch...
As documented in submitting-patches.rst please send patches to the maintainers for the code you would like to change. The normal kernel workflow is that people apply patches from their inboxes, if they aren't copied they are likely to not see the patch at all and it is much more difficult to apply patches.
Please don't send content free pings and please allow a reasonable time for review. People get busy, go on holiday, attend conferences and so on so unless there is some reason for urgency (like critical bug fixes) please allow at least a couple of weeks for review. If there have been review comments then people may be waiting for those to be addressed.
Sending content free pings adds to the mail volume (if they are seen at all) which is often the problem and since they can't be reviewed directly if something has gone wrong you'll have to resend the patches anyway, so sending again is generally a better approach though there are some other maintainers who like them - if in doubt look at how patches for the subsystem are normally handled.
