Let's stop here, the border has been crossed. We can introduce no-op
wrappers for functions which do not have any meaning in barebox
(spinlocks and the like), we can introduce convenience wrappers for
functions that have a different name in barebox (like kmalloc), but
please let's not introduce functions which do more complicated things
which depend on structures being ordered the way they are in the Linux
kernel. I'm really afraid this way we merge more and more code from
Linux that doesn't really make sense in the barebox context and that we
have to keep code in the filesystem drivers just to make the parallel
universe of the Linux wrappers happy. That's a can of worms I don't want
to open.
