The warning you saw was due to gcc assuming that foo(&bar) might not
write to `bar'.  That was fixed (ie: suppressed) in later gcc's, so we
tend not to bother working around it.

hm, how does the programmer use this info.  Does the device address
identify the device and its driver?  That seems a bit indirect.

ah, I see that the gruesome err_printk() does a WARN, so the stack
backtrace will tell us where the problem is occurring.
