Honestly, I refuse to pull this kind of inexplicable garbage.

The commit message talks about "some compilers/analyzers" without any
explanation, and the "Link:" thing doesn't link to anything useful
either.

Those compilers/analyzers are clearly complete and utter crap, and my
reaction is that I want a *lot* more explanation why we should care
about other peoples crap.

I do NOT want to see people caring about warnings that make no sense,
certainly not without extensive explanations about why we should care
about broken tools.

Fix the tool. Add a "--Wno-warn-about-stupid-issues" flag to the tool
usage. Don't make pointless changes to the kernel to work around other
peoples garbage.
