grumble. The warning drowned in the usual flood of gcc warnings that a kernel compile produces. Btw., whenever i meet a gcc false positive that annoys me particularly, i just fix it up and flame the gcc folks in a comment. That patch has grown quite a bit and can be found below. (it's not complete by any means, and it should rather be done as an annotation combined with some unflattering CONFIG_HACK_AROUND_BROKEN_GCC_WARNINGS option that a sane compiler could unset and avoid the runtime cost of needless initializations.)
