Oliver - stable kernels should _not_ get trivial fixes that don't actually have any problems associated with them. Every patch in a stable kernel has a downside. It had better have a big upside too. These don't. Please don't just send patches to the stable team because they "look fine". They should be real bugs, with real consequences. And no, a compiler warning is not a real consequence.
