Whole kernel tree, something like this patch is a good example:

58c1a35cd522 btrfs: convert kmap to kmap_local_page, simple cases

In this one, Ira generated a patch from a script, and the maintainer
could re-run it if new development added more of the "old way" before
applying Ira's patch.

> Is including "old" header in new code that big of a deal?

I was proposing ripping the band-aid off and deleting the old header,
in which case it would cause compile breakage if someone added a new
instance of the old include before the conversion patch was applied.

Having 2 potential places for the same definition causes a small
ongoing maintenance / review burden, so I vote moving the file rather
than leaving a place holder, but it's ultimately an x86 maintainer
call.
