I've fixed this recently. Some of these warnings were actually valid, I'll
post a kernel patch for these soon, but most of them were bogus warnings
when kernel was using GNU , ## restargs extension.

If you're using recent Red Hat distributions, use kgcc compiler instead of
gcc to compile the kernel.
