Most of the included files are either not required or already included by some other header file.
What's the general policy? I personally feel that each source file should #include all the header files it needs, and should not rely on header files #including other header files.
This way if header file A stops needing header file B, we don't need to go and fix all users of header file A that assume B is included.
I've been hit by this multiple times in Linux kernel - sometimes some header files just assume another header file is #included and refuses to compile it it isn't.
