Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Inconsistent extern declarations.

When you compile multiple files together with --combine, the compiler
starts to _notice_ when you do things like this in one file:

 extern int ipxrtr_route_packet(struct sock *sk, struct sockaddr_ipx *usipx,
                                struct iovec *iov, int len, int noblock);

.. but the actual function looks like this:

 extern int ipxrtr_route_packet(struct sock *sk, struct sockaddr_ipx *usipx,
                                struct iovec *iov, size_t len, int noblock);

This fixes a bunch of those, which are mostly just a missing 'const' on
the extern declaration.

This patch is a bug-fix which is fairly much independent of the
--combine/-fwhole-program stuff, so can be applied today.
