Thank you for reviewing v3 and I appreciate much Ian's suggestions, most
of which have been adopted into this series.

For anyone new to the series, the reason for appending this compiler
option is described in v3 (see "Link to v3" below).

In this version, the changes are organized into three parts:

Patches 01 – 07: Preparation before adding the new compiler option.
Fix typos, adjust Makefiles to ensure the newly
introduced option does not cause regressions.
Patch 08: Propagate -fzero-init-padding-bits=all to
EXTRA_CFLAGS and HOST_EXTRACFLAGS for the
CC and HOSTCC compilers, respectively.
Patches 09 – 30: Apply EXTRA_CFLAGS and HOST_EXTRACFLAGS in
project Makefiles.

Through which tree do you expect these patch to be picked up ? Each maintainer picks the patches related to their subsystem ?
