Well, does it?  You could provide measurements showing before/after
time to compile, or time to recompile after touching a header file that
is included by radix-tree.h and not by radix-tree-root.h.

Look at the files included (never mind the transitively included files):

#include <linux/bitops.h>
#include <linux/bug.h>
#include <linux/kernel.h>
#include <linux/list.h>
#include <linux/preempt.h>
#include <linux/rcupdate.h>
#include <linux/spinlock.h>
#include <linux/types.h>

These are not exactly rare files to be included.  My guess is that most
of the files in the kernel end up depending on these files *anyway*, either
directly or through some path that isn't the radix tree.
