If we are deciding to make this ARCH dependent then a blacklist is
much preferred.

I know that we have warnings lingering in the kernel for a long time.
But throwing these waring in the face of people for each build will
be eoung incentive to get most fixed.

Last I took a deeper look at this I had allyesconfig + allmodconfig
almost warning free on x86. But I recall that especially the HOTPLUG_CPU
stuff was tricky as they misuse the annotation.

We could try to enable it per default - and seem if people scream too much.
