Re: WAW and RAW warnings in kernel build

[Peter Chubb <peter@chubb.wattle.id.au>]

The main *other* class of warning is the one caued by the `dummy'
arguments to system calls used in the kernel.

arch/ia64/kernel/process.c: In function `kernel_thread':
include/asm/unistd.h:341: warning: `dummy3' might be used uninitialized in this function
include/asm/unistd.h:341: warning: `dummy4' might be used uninitialized in this function
include/asm/unistd.h:341: warning: `dummy5' might be used
uninitialized in this function

There doesn't seem to be a way around those, either.  GCC doesn't have
an `__attribute__ ((uninitialised))' 

And it seems a little silly to initialise these placeholder variables.
