Do we promise that userland will compile with -std=c89?  I hope not. 
Anonymous unions may be a c11 feature, but they're also available with
-std=gnu99, which I think is how we compile userland.

I think -std=gnu99 is how we should also compile the kernel, and I
think Bruce has been trying to say that for several years (but I'm not
sure, because the emails that seem to say so are always so full of
semi-related extraneous material that it's hard to be sure what they're
saying).
