Unfortunately 'few' may turn out to be 'more than MIT can tolerate'.
Education would help a lot here. I think the Documentation/ directory
needs an entire subdirectory devoted to kernel coding guidelines,
from obvious things like "don't use float" to more subtle things
like "you may never change a structure which is used in any ioctl
call; you may only add new calls with new structures".
