Question:

The patch does the semantic equivalent of:

-#define cap_clear(c)         do { cap_t(c) =  0; } while(0)
-#define cap_set_full(c)      do { cap_t(c) = ~0; } while(0)

+# define cap_clear(c)         do { (c) = __cap_empty_set; } while (0)
+# define cap_set_full(c)      do { (c) = __cap_full_set; } while (0)
+# define cap_set_init_eff(c)  do { (c) = __cap_init_eff_set; } while (0)

Was it intentional, or an oversight, that this blows chunks in modules
that try to use cap_clear() or cap_set_full() because the __cap_*
symbols don't get an EXPORT_SYMBOL() attached to them?
