This is the usual chicken and egg problem:

Without a warning noone will fix the code.

And yes, some of the drivers affected seem to be maintained (and
49 warnings come from OSS drivers with ALSA replacements another patch
I sent removes from the kernel).

They might not show up in your all*config builds that set SMP=y, but the
warnings with my patch aren't worse than the one's BROKEN_ON_SMP drivers
are spitting.
