I think W=2 is too aggressive. On many architectures, this finds
real bugs and the false positives tend to be trivial to fix
(by removing the bogus __packed annotation), which improves
the generated code in the process.

Moving it to W=1 for the moment is probably fine, but ideally
I think we should fix the kernel to behave according to the
C standard.
