In some functions, argument-forwarding through "$@" without listing the individual arguments explicitly is fundamental to the operation of a function. E.g. xfail_on_veth() should be able to run various tests in the fail-to-xfail regime, and usage of "$@" is appropriate as an abstraction mechanism. For functions such as simple_if_init(), $@ is a handy way to pass an array. In other functions, it's merely a mechanism to save some typing, which however ends up obscuring the real arguments and makes life hard for those that end up reading the code. This patch adds some of the implicit function arguments and correspondingly expands $@'s. In several cases this will come in handy as following patches adjust the parameter lists.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
