What about these? They (unfortunately) lack the "extern" keyword, but they're
still external declarations, and "make headers_check' doesn't notice them?
BTW, is there a way to tell gcc to warn about externs not marked "extern", so
we can fix all of them?

I had a look at this file, there's the small patch that just wraps the whole
section of function declarations with ifdef __KERNEL, or the larger patch
that does the wrapping _and_ adds the missing externs to make it obvious.
But I'm not sure that there is agreement regarding adding the externs too.
What do people think?

The general consensus is to add externs for new prototypes.
So if _and only if_ you are anyway touching this file in that area then
I would say - add the externs. But just adding externs are not (yet)
worth a patch alone.

Agreed about just adding externs not being worth it, but as part of auditing
this file for userspace inclusion I'll send the patch that adds the externs
as well as the ifdef __KERNEL__ bits.
