Header Sanitizing Project

I've been working on a way to sanitize the headers. I've come up with a process, that works for what I do, and hope to expand it with all the positive feedback I've been getting. The product of this research is at http://ftp.jg555.com/headers/headers2, and has a requirement of unifdef, which is listed in the script itself.

When I was working on this project, I've noticed a lot of headers are missing minor little things. Example. most if the if_*.h files are missing asm/types.h. linux/input.h has a complete procedure that should be under __KERNEL__. Should I submit these as bugs along with the patches? I have no problem submitting them.

Please advise me on the proper procedure on the findings, I can provide more details, but everything is in my little script for sanitizing the headers.

Thank you for all your help
