finding unused header files

inspired by that last post that located an unused header file under
arch/h8300, i ran my "find_unused_headers.sh" script on the same
sub-directory to see what would show up.

the script is stupidly conservative and didn't identify that shm.h
header since *somewhere* in the entire kernel source tree, someone was
including a file called "shm.h" -- not even for the same architecture.
like i said, stupidly conservative.

but it did find this:

$ ../s/find_unused_headers.sh arch/h8300
===== target_time.h =====
./arch/h8300/include/asm/target_time.h
$

and i see nothing anywhere in the entire tree that includes a
target_time.h header under any circumstances.

i should probably do another run of these scripts some day, just to
see what turns up.
