This causes a compile issue:

  CC      security/keys/keyctl.o
security/keys/keyctl.c:1029: error: conflicting types for 'keyctl_assume_authority'
security/keys/internal.h:141: error: previous declaration of 'keyctl_assume_authority' was here
make[2]: *** [security/keys/keyctl.o] Error 1

Why does keyctl.c declare it as 'asmlinkage'?
