In introducing a trivial "strstarts()" function in linux/string.h, we hit the following error on blackfin: file included from include/linux/bitmap.h:9, from include/linux/nodemask.h:90, from include/linux/mmzone.h:17, from include/linux/gfp.h:5, from include/linux/kmod.h:23, from include/linux/module.h:14, from arch/blackfin/lib/strncmp.c:14: include/linux/string.h: In function 'strstarts': include/linux/string.h:124: error: implicit declaration of function 'strncmp' Because when including asm/string.h from arch/blackfin/lib/strncmp.c, we don't declare the string op we are about to define, and linux/string.h barfs. The fix is to declare the function whose definition we steal via the #define trick. I do this for all of them, so this won't bite us in future.
