Hi Russell,

I think you mentioned last year around this time, when the big header
move occurred, that you were going to add a guideline for mach/*.h
headers to Documentation/arm.  Maybe it's time to add that patch and
just note that the <linux/*.h> version of the common headers should
be used and that the <asm/*.h> and <mach/*.h> header gets pulled in
automatically.

I think the two big ones that everyone screws up are, <linux/gpio.h>
and <linux/io.h>.

Regards,
Hartley
