I'd like to see all of these changed to the inlines in sys/libkern.h since
the compiler will do type checking for us.

This is a little more work which is why I didn't do it myself when I dealt
with the abs() stuff.

Consider this my objection.

I don't think that it really stands in the way of the cleanup of all the
definitions of min/max etc.
