Good. By the way, do you plan to keep the convention of writing
0 == foo?

I personally dislike it (and Linux expressed the same santiment at some
point), this practice unnecessary with gcc
which warns if you write if (foo = 0) accidentally, and
kernel code itself never does it, but some in-kernel drivers 
do it ... its easy to fix more or less automatically.
