<linux/mod_devicetable.h> is included transitively in nearly every
driver in an x86_64 allmodconfig build of v7.1:
$ find drivers -name \*.o -not -name \*.mod.o | wc -l
21330
$ find drivers -name \*.o.cmd -not -name \*.mod.o.cmd | xargs grep -l mod_devicetable.h | wc -l
17038
The result of this mixture of different and unrelated subsystem details
is that even when touching an obscure device id struct most of the
kernel needs to be recompiled. Given that each driver typically only
needs one or two of these structures, splitting into per subsystem
headers and only including what is really needed reduces the amount of
needed recompilation.
This split is implemented in the first commit and then after some
preparatory work in the following commits, the last two replace
includes of <linux/mod_devicetable.h> by the actually needed more
specific headers. There are still a few instances left, but the ones
with high impact (that is in headers that are used a lot) and the easy
ones (.c files) are handled. These remaining includes will be addressed
during the next merge window.
