More thinking securely...

I wonder if this is something that we should do slowly as were doing with
some of the k&r type definition cleanups in the kernel as there is still a
considerable amount of code being pulled in from various 
places(FreeBSD...).
Changing too many of these might slow down the import process for code, ex
the agp code from today....
Good point.  In the short term patches could be maintained and then 
re-applied after an import from FreeBSD.  The long term solution is 
probably more of a philosophical one - how often do we import from FreeBSD?

Cheers,
Ryan
