    Here are some more warnings I would like to see:

    - Warning for any spinlock/mutex definition that doesn't have a comment
    nearby (all locks ought to be documented)
    - Keep an ifdef count and give minus points for too many
    - Warn about any architecture ifdefs (__i386__ etc.)
    While not 100% illegal this is definitely something that needs to be
    justified
