Just one nit below.

Also, I just noticed that this patch series hasn't been cc'd to the linuxppc-dev
mailing list. You should do that, since it affects powerpc code. The
powerpc maintainers are being copied so at least they've been made aware
of it, but that isn't enough.

There's no need to add this include.
