After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there.  Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.

To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.

Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm.  I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

<title>[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 7</title>

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

This patch removes the unused EXPORT_SYMBOL(tr_source_route).

(Note, the usage in net/llc/llc_output.c can't be modular.)

<title>[NET]: Replace skb_pull/skb_postpull_rcsum with skb_pull_rcsum</title>

<id>cbb042f9e1292434e3cacb90e67d8d381aeac5a9</id>
<content type='text'>
We're now starting to have quite a number of places that do skb_pull
followed immediately by an skb_postpull_rcsum.  We can merge these two
operations into one function with skb_pull_rcsum.  This makes sense
since most pull operations on receive skb's need to update the
checksum.

I've decided to make this out-of-line since it is fairly big and the
fast path where hardware checksums are enabled need to call
csum_partial anyway.

Since this is a brand new function we get to add an extra check on the
len argument.  As it is most callers of skb_pull ignore its return
value which essentially means that there is no check on the len
argument.
