Hello,

on my alpha (UDB, redhat 4.2, binutils 2.8.1, gcc 2.7.2.1), I get the
following warnings when I compile the kernel:
warning: __r16 might be used uninitialized in this function
warning: __r17 might be used uninitialized in this function

I get many of those. The resulting kernel works well, but I find the
warnings ugly. Is there something that I can do ?
