Given the number of times (it's well past non-zero) we've changed around kernel
source in order to work around a bug in one or another widely-distributed
release of gcc, I think miscompile reports *are* on topic.

I seem to remember that gcc 3.4 did oddness with inlining strcpy that resulted
in a source tweak to lib/strings.c not too long ago, as just one example...

And there was the "read/write constraints and registers" warning recently...
