If anyone ever wants to use this code tagging framework for something
else, they will also have to convert relevant functions to macros,
slowly changing the kernel to a minefield where local identifiers,
struct, union and enum tags, field names and labels must avoid name
conflict with a tagged function. For now, I have to remember that
alloc_pages is forbidden, but the list may grow.  

Also, since you're not actually a kernel contributor yet...

I see, I've been around only since 2007...
