You can turn off -W's undesirable bits. For net/rxrpc/ and fs/afs/ at least,
adding:

CFLAGS += -W -Wno-unused-parameter

to the Makefile generates no warnings. Perhaps this should be added to the
master Makefile.

Adding -Wsign-compare finds some stuff that I will fix. It also finds some
stuff in the main and the networking headers. This is a really useful option
and found some tricky bugs in CacheFiles. I would endorse adding this
generally too.
