And to followup to my own message, since nobody else has:

This is stupid.  While I don't object to the concept (and even know people who
have requested it), that particular implementation sucks.  It breaks an
existing API *and* ABI.

I would suggest using a different routine name than suser(); suser() can be
made into a macro or stub routine that calls the new routine with a first
argument of 0 (or, of course, both a macro *and* a stub routine).

Any time there's a change, "all over the kernel," THIS SHOULD RAISE WARNING
FLAGS, PEOPLE!
