You can't just make changes like this without a lot of compile testing, I'm
afraid.

This causes a recursive inclusion and sched.h blows up:

In file included from include/linux/utsname.h:35,
                 from include/asm/elf.h:12,
                 from include/linux/elf.h:7,
                 from include/linux/module.h:15,
                 from include/linux/sysdev.h:25,
                 from kernel/time/clocksource.c:28:
include/linux/sched.h:1648: warning: 'struct sysdev_class' declared inside parameter list
include/linux/sched.h:1648: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want


I think we can fix that by moving the declarations into cpu.h and getting
that unpleasant include out of sched.h.

Of course, this will probably make other things blow up and additional
sysdev.h includes will now be needed.  We'll see..
