I'll see what I can do! ;-)

I have another patch with even smaller object code, but it requires
C11 to be well-defined (memcmp the whole struct, which requires zeros
in the padding holes).

If you think that makes it look better, I'll make the change!

Weird... Are you sure about that? I built the preprocessed file,
and it didn't appear to be so.

#ifndef WARN_ON
#define WARN_ON(condition) ({						\
	int __ret_warn_on = !!(condition);				\
	if (unlikely(__ret_warn_on))					\
		__WARN();						\
	unlikely(__ret_warn_on);					\
})
#endif

Maybe you were thinking of i915's WARN_ON?

#define WARN_ON(x) WARN((x), "%s", "WARN_ON(" __stringify(x) ")")

Regards.
