Subject: kernel build warnings about missing format specifiers

Does this honestly not bug anybody but me to see a few dozen warning:
format not a string literal and no format arguments
scroll by when building a kernel?

Can gcc be made to shut up, or, would a patch be accepted if I threw
in a load of "%s", to the offending printks?
