The one place where documentation really pays off is on data structures. 
Please document your core data structures with great care.

Documenting these wouild be good too.

The above functions will expand to a truly astonishing amount of code.  I
suspect they all should be uninlined.

We typically put a blank line between the linux/ includes adn the asm/
includes.

If include/linux/foo.h exists, please include that rather than
include/asm/foo.h

You'd think that by now the kernel would have a "get a decimal number from
userspace" library function.  But I don't think we do.
