no that's probably all the unused function arguments ;-)  (but I think I 
sent a patch for that too....) :)

I don't know what the deal is w/ linux & debug code; some of it goes in, 
some doesn't - akpm's excellent "ext3 debug" patch (which is really 
mostly buffer head tracing) is maintained out of tree, while other stuff 
goes in. *shrug*
