Include files typically need to be compatible with c89, so that users can 
compile their programs in c89 mode. (some BSD systems go even as far to 
support K&R prototypes in their include files)

In libdevmapper.h it is not critical because there are very few programs 
that use it. If you want to include c89 support, do it, but it is not 
critical.
