Not quite; I believe they'd become linux/in.h, linux/types.h, etc.
Moreover, a lot of the inclusions were indirect; for instance, the
#include directive for <sys/types.h> ultimately came from <afs/stds.h>
(copied from .../src/config/).  As such, I'm not convinced scouring
LINUX and rx will be entirely sufficient.

I should be able to do that, but I'm tired and on my way to bed, so
it'll have to wait until at least tomorrow.
