In the 2.1.77 version of linux/drivers/scsi/scsi.c at line 610, there's
a printk() statement with an unnecessary argument. (Just happened to
see the compiler warning go screaming by during a recent rebuild).

While we're trying to get things cleaned up for the final 2.1.XX release,
here's an item that has been around since <???>. With CONFIG_MODVERSIONS
defined, the following warnings appear numerous times while compiling the
kernel (firewall.c is one of *many* instances):
