Linux magic numbers
===================
This file is a registry of magic numbers which are in use. When you
add a magic number to a structure, you should also add it to this
file, since it is best if the magic numbers used by various structures
are unique.

It is a **very** good idea to protect kernel data structures with magic

has been clobbered, or (b) you've passed the wrong structure to a
