I think this might be related to the issue I reported to upstream LLVM,
as a regression within the past couple of weeks:

https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/111903

If this is a reasonable workaround, it might be worth doing but I will
probably wait until after the LLVM Developers Meeting next week to ping
the thread to have a better chance of visibility. If we want to work
around this in the kernel, we should Cc stable, as this warning is
present there too.
