Subject: [PATCH 6/6] Werror: Provide a configuration option to enable -Werror

Provide a configuration option to enable -Werror and make it work for x86_64
allyesconfig with __deprecated and __must_check checking disabled.

Note that it _won't_ be turned on for allyesconfig as it is suppressed by
ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED or ENABLE_MUST_CHECK being enabled.

Additionally, the advansys driver has its complaint about not being coverted
to the DMA API suppressed if this option is enabled.

Subject to those conditions, x86_64 allyesconfig will build with this option
enabled, if ENABLE_WARN_DEPRECATED and ENABLE_MUST_CHECK are manually disabled
and ENABLE_WERROR enabled.
