Yes.  Since there is also a general move to propagate stuff out of
architecture files into generic files, it will save hastle later on
if this stuff is already correct.

LDD is sometimes out dated with things like this.  The general advice
here is that for any asm/foo.h, if there exists linux/foo.h then linux/foo.h
should be included instead.  There are exceptions to this, in particular
asm/irq.h and asm/memory.h (since the linux/ equivalents aren't really
to do with these.)
