I consider any warning a bug, a normal kernel build should always be
warning free.
I sometimes send fixes for warnings that only happen with 'make W=1',
'make C=1' or even 'make W=2'. For those, I would only categorize them
as a real bug if they actually cause runtime misbehavior, but there are
some -Wsomething flags that we would like to enable by default in the
future.
