sheer bulk:			include/asm-ia64/sn/sn2/shub_mmr.h
most typedefs:			include/asm-ia64/sn/sn2/shub_mmr_t.h
bizarre (and ugly) idiom:	fs/devfs/*.c
just plain ugly:		arch/i386/kernel/cpu/mtrr/generic.c
really crusty-looking:		drivers/char/*tty*.c
terrifying ultra-legacyness:	drivers/ide/legacy/hd.c
fishiness:			drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c
why so much code?:		drivers/char/dz.c
highly cleanup-resistant:	mm/slab.c
unusual preprocessor games:	kernel/cpufreq.c
contrived inefficiency:		fs/proc/inode.c:proc_fill_super()
