Subject: simple_strtoull() - FIXME?

What's this FIXME in simple_strtoull() for? Something to be terribly
concerned about and need fixing (assuming there is something that still
needs fixing)

unsigned long long simple_strtoull(const char *cp, char **endp, unsigned
int base)
{
        unsigned long long result;
        unsigned int rv;

        cp = _parse_integer_fixup_radix(cp, &base);
        rv = _parse_integer(cp, base, &result);
        /* FIXME */
        cp += (rv & ~KSTRTOX_OVERFLOW);

        if (endp)
                *endp = (char *)cp;

        return result;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL(simple_strtoull);
