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

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?
No :)
* The days when linux/fs.h included individual filesystem headers is
long gone. Only the filesystems themselves typically include the
linux/foo_fs*.h files these days.
* It's not like we add new filesystems to the kernel very often.
