Subject: [PATCH] kernel: add clamp() and clamp_t() macros

Adds macros similar to min/max/min_t/max_t.

Also, change the variable names used in the min/max macros to
avoid shadowed variable warnings when min/max min_t/max_t are
nested.

Small formatting changes to make all the macros have a similar
form.

Andrew, here's a cleanup of the max/min macros and the introduction
of a clamp/clamp_t macro.  There are users for this in libata (the
FIX macro you've already seen) and in drivers/media which is rolling
its own.
