[PATCH 5/6 v2]kernel:module.c variable 'nowarn' set but not used

From: Justin P. Mattock
Date: Sat Jun 19 2010 - 16:39:35 EST


This is a resend from the original, due to the original being wrong,
and having whitespace issues.
The below patch marks the variable nowarn __unused to satisfy gcc 4.6.0 from
giving this warning:
CC kernel/module.o
kernel/module.c: In function 'add_usage_links':
kernel/module.c:1343:6: warning: variable 'nowarn' set but not used
after doing this the warning message goes away, but checkpatch.pl
gives a warning about externs should be avoided, so am not sure
this is the right approach(but could be wrong).
