Compiling 2.6.12 with gcc 4.0.0 (FC4) gets lots of warnings for the

Although I am a bit nervous about papering over these warnings without addressing them... I still ACK the patch, because gcc4 on FC4 does indeed spew a bunch of noise.

Have you (or anyone) looked into the "root cause" of these warnings?
