[RFC/PATCH 2/7] Rearrange include files to make struct call_single_data usable in more places

From: Michael Neuling
Date: Mon Dec 06 2010 - 18:43:11 EST


We need to put struct call_single_data in the powerpc thread_struct,
but can't without this.

The thread_struct is in processor.h. To add a struct call_single_data
to the thread_struct asm/processor.h must include linux/smp.h. When
linux/smp.h is added to processor.h this creates an include loop via
with list.h via:

linux/list.h includes:
linux/prefetch.h includes:
asm/processor.h (for powerpc) includes:
linux/smp.h includes:
linux/list.h

This loops results in an "incomplete list type" compile when using
struct list_head as used in struct call_single_data.

This patch rearanges some include files to avoid this loop.
