Actually, you don't even have to do that - you only need to build with
W=1:

make W=1 drivers/edac/amd64_edac.o

We already enable -Wmissing-prototypes as an additional compiler warning
when building objects with the W= switch.

Ok, gcc man page says this detects global functions without prototypes
in a header but I guess it can be used to detect needlessly global
functions too. :)

I'll pick up your three patches,

Thanks.
