This ifdef is a bug and is not present in my version.  It makes lint
see different things than the compiler would and thus breaks checking
of some areas.  E.g., it hides the syntax error "__packed" and binary
compatibility breakage for compilers that don't support __packed, and
this breakage isn't even limited to the kernel.

I still have the lint ifdef for __FBSDID().
