I would clarify this is a requirement to use simple_strtoul().

The build system should always include <xen/config.h> automagically. So 
can you clarify why this is necessary?

We usually order the headers so <xen/...> are first and then <asm/...>. 
They are then ordered alphabetically within themself.
But it is not clear why you are adding <xen/stdbool.h> as AFAICT it is 
already going to be included by existing headers. Did you see an error 
without including it?
