Ugh. It's also very ugly.

Wouldn't something like this (TOTALLY UNTESTED!) work and do the right thing?

This seems like a natural for a Kconfig decision.

Also, does -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5 work with clang too? That would
simplify things a bit, and then we could just use a regular boolean
and do

  KBUILD_CFLAGS-$(CC_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH) += -Wimplicit-fallthrough=5

in the Makefile, which is more in like with what we do for other
config-time cflags..
