I'd be more careful about those, because there's various
scheduler patch-sets floating modifying them.

sched.h is much more static and it is the one that actually gets
included in like 60% of all *other* .c files, adding a few
thousand lines to every .o compilation and causing measurable
compile time overhead ...

So sched.h splitting is something we should really do, if
there's people interested in and capable of pulling it off.

Thanks,
