subsystems convert: linux/arch/i386/kernel, tulip, ext2, reiserfs,
linux/kernel, ipv4 and ipv6.

Unlike the previous version of this patch, there is no 'KSTATIC' or
similar.  This is extremely minimal impact patch.  There would be no
code changes at all, except for the fact that existing code bugs, which
only show up when built this way, need to be fixed.
