How about just marking the ones I've already done in #gccbug?

If I'm taking the time to audit the code, and separate out bogosities from real bugs, it would be nice not to see that effort wasted.

#gccbug includes _only_ the bogosities. I didn't just blindly paper over everything with a 'may be used uninitialized' warning. I'm well over halfway through the 'make allmodconfig' build, and as LKML emails can attest, have found several valid warnings.
