An IRC discussion sparked a memory:  most filesystems really don't

filesystems like procfs, just about the only filesystem symbols that
get exported outside of __KERNEL__ are the *_SUPER_MAGIC symbols,
and similar symbols.

After seeing the useful attributes of linux/poison.h, I propose a
similar linux/magic.h.

But... if some patch changes this file (like adding new magic symbol) it will cause large part of the kernel to rebuild without any good reason. No?
