And, last night we have new warnings.  My allnoconfigs no longer build
cleanly because of new vexpress section mismatches in the mfd code.

It seems to me that you're on a loosing battle unless you test the tree
and drop code _before_ propaging it out if it adds new warnings... force
the pain of these warnings down on to others so that they learn to create
better code in the first place.
