Here's the README in the math-emu directory which describes why we
leave the warnings in:

"All files except driver.c are snapshots from the HP-UX kernel.  They've
 been modified as little as possible.  Even though they don't fit the
 Linux coding style, please leave them in their funny format just in case
 someone in the future, with access to HP-UX source code, is generous
 enough to update our copies with later changes from HP-UX -- it'll
 make their 'diff' job easier if our code is relatively unmodified.
