Feel free to join... Another source of fun: take a random file
from inlude/*/, pick a random prototype defined there, grep the tree for
said beast. Estimate the probability of finding the function in question
a) called by somebody
b) defined somewhere
c) (a) && !(b)
Admittedly, P(c) is pretty low, but non-zero. P(!b) is _far_ from zero.
Now, for _real_ fun grep for LINUX_VERSION_CODE. Pay attention to
advansys.c - there are some real pearls (most of their, erm, analogs in
other SCSI drivers had been flushed in October, hell knows how did these
ones crawl back).
