This affects hardly any functions, if any at all, because qualifiers on 
function argument types are ignored for the purposes of compatibility 
(6.7.5.3#15).  For a function to be affected it would need a restrict 
qualifier that isn't directly on the argument type itself (type *restrict 
*param, for example).
