Actually, from my perspective, killing the macros turns out to
be a good thing.  It caught a potential revert of the conversion
we did in CIFS already, for example :)

Unlike a compile failure, we don't have some automated thing
scanning new patches looking for references to turds like these
NIPQUAD macros which we want to remove.
