 "__used" is misspelled "__unused" in several other places.  "__used" is new
 so it is rarely used.  "__unused" had to be used bogusly to prevent warnings
 about things that are used but which the compiler couldn't see are used,
 but now the correct spelling can be used.
 
 "__used" is now defined in <sys/cdefs.h>, but <sys/cdefs.h> doesn't
 actually use it.  E.g., <sys/cdefs.h still uses "__unused" for __IDSTRING(),
 but only in the non-__GNUC__ case which is broken anyway due to related
 bugs (some header files use __aligned(), but __aligned is intentionally
 left undefined to properly break the non-__GNUC__ case).  The usual case
 of __IDSTRING() (and thus __FBSDID()) apparently works because the usedness
 is hidden in an asm statement.
 
 crtbrand.c hard-codes the gccism __attribute((...__[un]used)) instead
 of using the macro __[un]used defined in <sys/cdefs.h>.  This is almost
 correct, since crtbrand.c needs to use more attributes than <sys/cdefs.h>
 can reasonably define.
