For some m68k configs, I get:

| net/rfkill/rfkill-input.c: In function 'rfkill_start':
| net/rfkill/rfkill-input.c:208: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

As the incomplete type is `struct task_struct', including <linux/sched.h> fixes
it.

Line 208 is this (in latest Linus mainline and also v2.6.27):

spin_unlock_irq(&handle->dev->event_lock);

So we need to include sched.h to everything that uses spin_unlock_irq?  If
only some variants of m68k need that, shouldn't it have been added on the
header that defines spin_unlock_irq() on those arches, instead?

Unfortunately that's not possible, due to Include Hell(tm).
Therefore, including <linux/sched.h> is the way this has been fixed in
the past.
