This header uses quite a few things without including the header files
which define them.  That's a bit risky - it causes compile breakage
across architectures, across config changes and across time.

hm.  It appears that someone made the decision to omit the name from
the `struct osd_request *' parameter in the prototypes and to include
the argument names for all other arguments.

Not a bad idea, really.
