I kept these intentionally because few of these declarations I have
already fixed earlier.
For example during process.c unification work developers forget to
include and fix syscalls.h :

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/x86/linux-2.6-tip.git;a=commit;h=389d1fb11e5f2a16b5e34c547756f0c4dec641f7

Thats why I did:

diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/process.c b/arch/x86/kernel/process.c
index 1d71442..4d397ce 100644
--- a/arch/x86/kernel/process.c

Ingo, do you also think we need to remove these comments.
