Thank you.

I haven't converted compat/* files. Also not converted are files which got
__GNUC__ dependencies in the last month. I try to get time to scan for them.

New code shouldn't use __GNUC__ anymore off course. If cdefs.h doesn't
contain a define which fits your needs, add a new one please.

We wheren't happy about the names of the defines, but we wheren't able to
come up with better ones. So in case you're not happy with the names used
feel free to come up with better ones (I don't intend to participate in such
a discussion).

The patch works for me since a year without any problem, but I don't have
every hardware which is touched by this commit. So no guarantees that it
won't eat your family. :-)

Bye,
Alexander.
