While I appreciate your confidence, I don't notice quite a few new
warnings (because there are so many of them already :-().  Is there some
reason to not turn this on in our "normal" builds?  Does it produce many
false positives?  What compiler version is required?

I also currently don't carry patches that only ever appear in linux-next
(well, not intentionally anyway).  I assume it would require a patch to
the Makefile(s) to turn this on.
