any interest in unreferenced header files throughout the tree?

any interest in unreferenced header files throughout the tree?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  with a minor tweak to one of my scripts, i can now identify all
header files throughout the source tree that no one seems to be using,
and i can generate that output broken down as usual by logical
subdirectories.

  as a simple example, under fs/, there appears to be a single unused
header file:

  fs/xfs/xfs_refcache.h

if there's interest, i can generate output for the entire tree and
post it at the normal wiki location.

rday

p.s.  there's a *lot* of them under arch/.

Better yet post it to the list.

And if there are headers that are unused now and were unused in
2.6.25... I guess you can just submit patch removing those.
