Which just goes to show that any such rules about sorting are
not worth the hassle unless you also provide some make rule to
validate them as part of 'make test'. It shouldn't be too
hard to hook it up - a make rule that runs this:

   grep typedef include/qemu/typedefs.h > orig.txt
   sort orig.txt > sorted.txt
   diff orig.txt sorted.txt > /dev/null

as part of 'make test' would suffice
