OK, committed.

Another question some of you might be able to answer me;

what use is using __volatile and __const over volatile and const?

I mean, I know what they do and what they are there for, but giving
Rob's impending work of changing all __P(()) to normal ISO C prototyping
it makes no use to still have type wrappers like this lingering around
as well then.

Or am I missing something subtle here?
