I don't have strong feelings about this, but another way to do that
would be to write it like:

	FOR_EACH(blah, blah) {
		frob();
		frob();
		frob();
	} END_FOREACH_BSS();

Maybe have to revisit the macro definitions. Will look into this. As this patch fixes some true extern warnings I suggest to let this one go in the tree.

Or if you know perl, you could look into why checkpatch is printing
the wrong warning here...

I moved on to python scripting and perl got flushed from memory ;-)
