  • We can use a gcc extension to ensure that ARRAY_SIZE() is handed an array,
    not a pointer. This is especially important when code is changed from a
    fixed array to a pointer. I assume the Intel compiler doesn't support
    __builtin_types_compatible_p.

  • Introduce a macro for suppressing gcc from generating a warning about a
    probable uninitialized state of a variable.

    Example:

    - spinlock_t *ptl;
    + spinlock_t *uninitialized_var(ptl);

    Not a happy solution, but those warnings are obnoxious.

    - Using the usual pointlessly-set-it-to-zero approach wastes several
    bytes of text.

    - Using a macro means we can (hopefully) do something else if gcc changes
    cause the `x = x' hack to stop working

    - Using a macro means that people who are worried about hiding true bugs
    can easily turn it off.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
