SubjectRe: [PATCH 01/12] making the kernel -Wshadow clean - fix mconf

Something seems strange here to me. It looks like you are sometimes
resolving the shadowed symbols by making the more local symbol have the
longer name.

I'd have expected that the global symbol would be the one with the
longer, more elaborate name.

In other words, I would have expected that we would avoid having global
names such as (from your other patches in this set):

filename
scroll
instr
up
sum
state
rep
complete
irq

Perhaps I am misreading this patch set?
