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).

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.
