[PATCH -next 0/3] netfilter: header cleanup

[Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>]

Having core header files in include/linux that in turn include other
headers with a high number of includes implicitly degenerates into
a formalism that hides what amounts to #include <linux/everything.h>

Some headers, like module.h and device.h are good examples that will
essentially drag in almost everything.

There is nothing module specific about netfilter, but before we try
and stop nf_tables.h from including module.h, we have to fix two
instances of code which are implicitly relying on that module.h
inclusion, so as to not introduce build regressions.
