So I took the time to painfully discover every header that is required
for nbcon.c without any proxy usage. It came down to this:

#include <linux/atomic.h>
#include <linux/bug.h>
#include <linux/compiler.h>
#include <linux/console.h>
#include <linux/delay.h>
#include <linux/errno.h>
#include <linux/export.h>
#include <linux/init.h>
#include <linux/irqflags.h>
#include <linux/minmax.h>
#include <linux/percpu-defs.h>
#include <linux/preempt.h>
#include <linux/serial_core.h>
#include <linux/slab.h>
#include <linux/smp.h>
#include <linux/stddef.h>
#include <linux/string.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
#include "internal.h"

For the next version of this series I will only add the includes you
suggested, but will follow-up with a patch that fixes all proxy headers
for nbcon.c. As a separate patch it will help with bisecting in case the
ordering causes an explosion on some config/architecture.
