Compile statistics: 2.5.64

Warnings in an allmodconfig (modules build) went down by 70 and there
were 30 fewer errors in the build. Kernel build changes and bug fixes
get the credit for this positive movement.

modules (allmodconfig) 2426 warnings 2356 warnings
                           128 errors 99 errors
