Yeah. Some of the others could be moved to include/linux/ as well, such as:

   <linux/sched/jobctl.h> => <linux/jobctl.h>
   <linux/sched/xacct.h>  => <linux/xacct.h>
   <linux/sched/user.h>   => <linux/user.h>

All of these are pretty unrelated to scheduling, they just happen to be about 
fields that are in task_struct.

<linux/user.h> already exists, it wraps asm/user.h - I suspect the 
<linux/sched/user.h> bits can just be appended to it, plus a header guard.

Thanks,
