    All of them. Except for the "not_yet" parts of stdarg.h and _types.h, as
    icc needs to learn the gcc syntax of the used constructs first (it's on
    the TODO list @Intel). And except for parts where I get negative reviews
    here (none so far)...

    Yes.

    Yes, as I use NFS on my desktop I can't run a icc compiled kernel on it,
    but I have (various incarnations of) the icc patches in the src tree
    since a long time and everything runs fine (or better: not different
    than for those on -current@ without the patches :-) ) on the gcc
    compiled system.

    If a src committer looks into them and offers to commit them (or
    approves to commit them): the FreeBSD version needs to get bumped
    because of the cdefs.h changes (short description: "cdefs.h support for
    Intel's C/C++ compiler"), I need to know about them in the icc port.

    Bye,
    Alexander.
