Assorted warnings while building 2.5.73

Assorted warnings while building 2.5.73

[J.C. Wren]

Perhaps I over estimate, but some of these seem of mild concern, primarily the forced conditions.
Does the LKML want to see these, or should I report them via some other mechanism?

Fix min/max macros and/or learn gcc that "const typeof(x)" where x
is already const type is OK. Or I can code it with simple if(), but
why we have min/max macros then?

Is there some __attribute__((-Wno-duplicate-const)) ?

Or use a newer compiler that has this fixed, or use min_t()/max_t()
instead.
