I posted the updated series. I fixed up the order of include files
where I could find some order.
There have been other commits that used scripts to do such
replacements and have already stomped on the order.
For example:

commit 7c0f6ba682b9c7632072ffbedf8d328c8f3c42ba
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Replace <asm/uaccess.h> with <linux/uaccess.h> globally
