+ - Identifiers starting with an underscore followed by another underscore
+ or an upper-case letter are reserved. Today Xen uses many, such as
+ header guards and bitwise manipulation functions. Upon analysis it turns
+ out Xen identifiers do not clash with the identifiers used by modern
+ GCC, but that is not a guarantee that there won't be a naming clash in
+ the future or with another compiler. For these reasons we discourage
+ the introduction of new reserved identifiers in Xen, and we see it as
+ positive the reduction of reserved identifiers. At the same time,
+ certain identifiers starting with wo underscores are also commonly used
+ in Linux (e.g. __set_bit) and we don't think it would be an improvement
+ to rename them.
