These includes exist if you are on a power-pc which is the only time you
might want to be compiling adb.c anyway as far as I can see.
They do appear when you do a make dep though, and I don't know how you'd
go about getting rid of them.

These are because spin_lock_irqsave and spin_lock_irqrestore often
ignore their first arguemnt. I say often, because it depends on
architecture, whether the kernel is SMP or not, and how much debuging code
is enabled. I can't see any easy way to remover these warnings (and they
are completely harmless...).

As far as I can see it is safe to remove this, but I'm prepared to be told
otherwise.

> fbcon.c: In function `fbcon_scroll':

This is because the fontwidth macro ignores its argument if
CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY is defined.

It would be possible with some #ifdefs to remove the error, but the
resulting code is, IMHO, very ugly:

if (t != 0 && logo_shown == fg_console) {
#ifndef CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY
struct display *p = &fb_display[unit];
int lw = (smp_num_cpus * (LOGO_W + 8) - 7) / fontwidth(p)
+ 1;
#else
int lw = (smp_num_cpus * (LOGO_W + 8) - 7) / 8 + 1;
#endif
logos_left = conp->vc_cols - lw;
while (logos_left < 0)
#ifdef CONFIG_FBCON_FONTWIDTH8_ONLY
logos_left += (LOGO_W + 8 - 7) / 8;
#else
logos_left += (LOGO_W + 8 - 7) / fontwidth(p);
#endif
logos_width = conp->vc_cols - logos_left;
}

These are all wrong. saved_cap can not be used uninitialized. gcc thinks
it can because the place where saved_cap is set is like
..
if(current->fsuid) {
...
saved_cap = ...
...
}
and it is later used like
if(current->fsuid) {
...
... = saved_cap;
...
}
which is obviously ok, since we set it precisely when we need to. gcc
isn't clever enough to notice this (understandably).
We could change the
kernel_cap_t saved_cap;
lines to
kernel_cap_t saved_cap=0;
purely to stop gcc winging.

It is used AFAICS. I don't see why gcc is spewing this warning at all

WARNING: None of the above patches have been tested. They may not even
compile.
