 During validation, GHC.Magic must build without warning, and must also
 type check with Haddock without warnings. This causes some awkwardness in
 GHC.Magic (see the comment above the imports regarding genprimops) because
 TYPE is exported from GHC.Prim and reexported by GHC.Types. We are forced
 to explicitly import it via GHC.Types (and not from GHC.Prim to avoid an
 unused import warnings). Importing via GHC.Prim would not type check with
 Haddock as genprimops doesn't generate TYPE for GHC.Prim. This issue
 surfaced in patch D5312.
