Starts much earlier:

In file included from ./include/linux/cpu.h:17,
                 from ./include/linux/cacheinfo.h:6,
                 from ./arch/riscv/include/asm/cacheinfo.h:9,
                 from ./arch/riscv/include/asm/elf.h:16,

./include/linux/node.h:96:25: error: field 'dev' has incomplete type
   96 |         struct device   dev;
      |

And yeah, this is an abomination.

If we had an easy fix sure but this really is a nightmare after trying
it a bit here too.

Oh well, some other time.

Thx.
