Well, actually, upon a second look, I don't think that including a .c
file into a header is ok:

diff --git a/arch/x86/boot/string.h b/arch/x86/boot/string.h
index 3d78e27077f4..0ff3edb888e4 100644
--- a/arch/x86/boot/string.h
+++ b/arch/x86/boot/string.h
@@ -30,3 +30,7 @@ extern unsigned long long simple_strtoull(const char *cp, char **endp,
unsigned int base);

#endif /* BOOT_STRING_H */
+
+#ifdef BOOT_STRING
+#include "../../../lib/kstrtox.c"
+#endif

Chao, why isn't this part of arch/x86/boot/compressed/misc.c ?
