[PATCH] x86/syscalls: shrink entry/syscall_64.i via IWYU

From: Tanzir Hasan
Date: Wed Jan 03 2024 - 19:14:05 EST


This diff uses an open source tool include-what-you-use (IWYU) to modify
the include list, changing indirect includes to direct includes. IWYU is
implemented using the IWYUScripts github repository which is a tool that
is currently undergoing development. These changes seek to improve build
times.

This change to entry/syscall_64.c resulted in a preprocessed size of
entry/syscall_64.i from 64003 lines to 24509 lines (-62%) for the x86
defconfig.
