OK.  So as a general rule, we should skip the include any time when a
few structure declarations would suffice?

Hm.  It also seems wrong that sys_ia32.c would need to include so many
nfsd/sunrpc headers.  It looks like that should be easy to fix with a
better organization of the nfsd headers--I'll do that, assuming it's
considered worthwhile....
