BTW, this patch reminds me that if people think there are
subdirectories where we can turn on things like -Werror in the
networking I would be very happy to apply such patches.

Things like arch/sparc has had this for years, I even forget when I
added it. :-)

Things like net/core/ for example should be doable for sure.
