You may want to add as a secondary goal, splitting up some of the
huge 3-headed monster include files like sched.h
(It's better than it used to be, but it still sucks, and that thing
#include's the world). Worst, iirc module.h pulls it in, which means
everything built as a module is pulling in hundreds of includes
even though most of the time, it'll never use anything from the
indirect ones.
If you pull this off, you can shave a lot off compile time as almost
every component #includes module.h
