If somebody does teach lint that new trick, please make it more general.
Perhaps something like this:

      int
      svr4_fcntl(p, v, retval)
	      register struct proc		*p;
	      /* USEDAS struct svr4_fcntl_args * */
	      void				*v;
	      register_t			*retval;

where the USEDAS lint directive means that, although `v' is declared as
type `void *', it should be type checked in many respects as if it were
of type `struct svr4_fcntl_args *'.
