Yes, you are correct!

I will send v2 patch with asm/unaligned.h

It is confusing to me as well.
There are various instances where a function used in file say for eg
int func_align (void* a)
is used and it is defined in align.h
But many files don't *directly* include align.h and rather include
any other header which includes align.h

Is compiling the file the only way to check if apppropriate header is
included or is there some other way to check for it.

Thanks
