We've mostly followed this plan for the last 23 months:
% RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/sys/sys/_mutex.h,v
% Working file: _mutex.h
% head: 1.9
% ...
% ----------------------------
% revision 1.1
% date: 2001/05/01 08:13:17; author: markm; state: Exp;
% Undo part of the tangle of having sys/lock.h and sys/mutex.h included in
% other "system" header files.
%
% Also help the deprecation of lockmgr.h by making it a sub-include of
% sys/lock.h and removing sys/lockmgr.h form kernel .c files.
%
% Sort sys/*.h includes where possible in affected files.

% ----------------------------
*.h should include <sys/_mutex.h> and its prerequisite <sys/_mutex.h> if
any mutexes are declared, and *.c should include <sys/mutex.h> and its
prerequisite <sys/mutex.h> if any mutext is used (other than to assign it).
*.h may hide some of the details using macros like PROC_LOCK(), but should
not include primary headers like <sys/mutex.h> to do so.
