Greg, any preference for how to handle this situation? Just add '#include <linux/sched/task.h>' to the affected .c file (and hope there are no more affected .c files in the other arch directories) and call it a day? Or should we backport the transitive inclusion (i.e., the #include added by commit 80fbaf1c3f29)? Or move the declaration of make_task_dead() into <linux/kernel.h> so that it's next to do_exit()? - Eric
