I see.  Well, when doing this I'd suggest adding a comment, otherwise the
include could end up getting removed sooner or later without anyone asking
linux-m68k first (I seriously douby anyone will do git blame to find out why
an #include line exists before removing it).

Something like:
#include <sched.h> /* m68k needs task_struct for <whatever> */

Such comments in the kernel tend to be old ones you cannot trust.

And #include removals are not really a common case - sometimes someone 
cleans up something specific, but I don't think anyone will remove 
#include's of sched.h from random .c files (considering how much 
sched.h pulls in the fallout of such #include removals would be many
build breakages) unless someone seriously reorganizes sched.h itself.
