Note that Arnd's "extra-anal check" added a XXX_BAD() define after all, and I ended up accepting that one, because it had a totally valid usage: it fixed a real issue not with bad type passing, but with passing types that are too _big_.
I fixed two cases that I found where this was the case, there might be others (I did a maxconfig, but on SMP. There might be some UP-only driver that is affected by this).
But I'm too lazy to go back and fix up the older fixes, so..
