Patches 2 and 3 seemed a reasonable idea to me.
Removes a lot of code that is only there to make the whole thing work.
The 'with' is a bit of a take on Pascal - but without the 'making the
code completely unreadable' side effect.
I don't do WARN=1 builds, never mind WARN=2 :-)
Although -Wshadow can find real bugs - so I would turn it on and
suffer the annoyances.
Patch 5 was just what I was experimenting with.
Doing the equivalent change to the non-compat version (IIRC it
uses the (likely) much slower copy_to/from_user() because the
structures match) might even be more sensible.
