This patch series changes the include list of string.c to minimize
the preprocessing size. The patch series intends to remove REPEAT_BYE
from kernel.h and move it into its own header file because
word-at-a-time.h has an implicit dependancy on it but it is declared
in kernel.h which is bloated.

Changes in v5:
- Removed bad copyright.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Changes in v4:
- Fixed personal email client so name appears instead of just email
- Removed kernel.h where not needed.
- Sorted include list in lib/string.c and used linux/limits.h
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Changes in v3:
- Moved REPEAT_BYTE out of kernel.h and into wordpart.h.
- Included wordpart.h where REPEAT_BYTE was necessary.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]
Changes in v2:
- Transformed into a patch series
- Changed asm inclusions to linux inclusions
- added a patch to sh
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected]

This diff uses an open source tool include-what-you-use (IWYU) to modify
the include list, changing indirect includes to direct includes. IWYU is
implemented using the IWYUScripts github repository which is a tool that
is currently undergoing development. These changes seek to improve build
times.
This change to lib/string.c resulted in a preprocessed size of
lib/string.i from 26371 lines to 5321 lines (-80%) for the x86
defconfig.

2.43.0.472.g3155946c3a-goog
This patch creates wordpart.h and includes it in asm/word-at-a-time.h
for the all architectures. WORD_AT_A_TIME_CONSTANTS depends on kernel.h
because of REPEAT_BYTE. Moving this to another header and including it
where necessary allows us to not include the bloated kernel.h. Making
this implicit dependency on REPEAT_BYTE explicit allows for later
improvements in the lib/string.c inclusion list.

Same comments as per v4 apply here.
According to the Submitting Patches the best time between versions is
~1w. I understand your desire to close this quicker, but the result is
actually the opposite. Take your time and check carefully what others
commented and recommended. With this series it's fine to send a couple
of times per (working) week. It sounds to me balanced between the
complexity of the change and the people's willingness (having time?)
to review.
Otherwise it's a good start!
