One of the rules of including files that comes to mind is that one should
never rely on stuff being included from other headers but always explicitly
include those which are needed.
But if compatibility with other OS kernels is a valid reason to disregard
common coding practices, maybe at least it deserves a comment in those files?

But I really couldn't care less about these headers, so this is totally up
to you.
