So after one more hour on it, I'm admitting abandonning the battle.
Adding the necessary includes there is causing "declared inside parameter"
failures in random other totally unrelated stuff (e.g. in sys_getdents64()
or msleep()). We'll have to really clear that circular includes mess again
in a near future. For now I'll stay on the stub which works fine without
affecting the rest.
