Well, I think it's a good time to do some cleanup then. Why on earth
would thread_info.h be anything else than a "_types"-like header ?
If headers has become in such a state in the kernel, then IMHO the
solution is not to shove more out-of-line functions under the carpet,
but rather to do the cleanup.
