I somehow missed LINT/Makefile changing and LINT/linux*.o not getting 
built.  They remained identical to the old versions so my regression
tests passed :-].

opt_linux.h and `#if[def] LINUX' aren't used, and probably can't be used
without breaking the lkm'ability.  opt_ibcs2.h and `#if[def] IBCS2' aren't
used either.  Just as well.  How about putting unusable options in
opt_dontuse.h and obsolete options in opt_bogus.h?   The latter could
be checked to warn people to stop using things like DODUMP.
