I'm not sure we should do one patch per warning - that's too granulary.
What I did earlier was this:

make allmodconfig
make W=1 arch/x86/kernel/apic/

and then looked at all those -Wmissing-prototypes warnings.

Once I've fixed them, I commit the result as a

  x86/apic: Fix -Wmissing-prototypes warnings

and this way it is more or less per subsystem or folder or whatever,
which still keeps the amount of patches sane for further handling.

Now, I did some fixes here so I'd suggest you do all your patches ontop
of tip/master after merging this branch into it:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bp/bp.git/log/?h=tip-ras-core

I'll push it into tip the next days.

Thx.
