The problem with mixing of naming styles is that it becomes
difficult to remember what style is used where. Is it foo_bar_baz() or

the boolean CONFIG_BASE_SMALL to 1 and it is used to shrink a number

The current cond_syscall #defines add a semicolon on the end, and then
folks leave the semicolons off in kernel/sys_ni.c, which confuses
editors that are language-aware and is just generally bad style. This
sweeps all the users and makes sys_ni.c look like normal C code.

This is a bit wonky. Why is there a distinction?

I think a URL in Kconfig and the source is sufficient, as this
requires a userspace component which is a better place to bundle the
docs.

I've been sitting on this patch for a while, figured it's high time I
shared it with the world. This patch eliminates all kernel bugs, trims
about 35k off the typical kernel, and makes the system slightly
faster. The patch is against the latest bk snapshot, please apply.

This patch tidies up those annoying kernel messages. A typical kernel
boot now looks like this:
Loading Linux... Uncompressing kernel...
#
See? Much nicer. This patch saves about 375k on my laptop config and
nearly 100k on minimal configs.
