Alright, it's a big undertaking ;)

I'm suggesting things to make code auditing simpler, more accurate, more 
precise.  "Quality-Assurance audited code still contains on average 5 
bugs per kloc" is a really nasty thought.

http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/8/9/369 was the major explaination.  It's big 
and clunky to have before each function; but at least it's not ugly, and 
it's potentially helpful.  Maybe a few of the like in the smallest 
driver possible to see how it feels?  (/dev/mem?)
