Subject: [PULL] typesafe callbacks

As featured in linux-next for at least two full revs, and posted here.
Allows (but doesn't require) various callbacks to be the correct type
instead of void *.

kthread and timers for the moment, stop_machine and request_irq are
blocked pending textual clashes.

Added __attribute__((printf)) to kthread_create to this batch: textual
conflicts otherwise.

Thanks,
Rusty.
