I'm used to the fact that every single BROKEN_ON_SMP driver generates 
tons of such warnings that I don't see why these warnings should be any 
bad...

If you dislike the warnings, you could move the whole __deprecated und a 
config option.

In the case of virt_to_bus/bus_to_virt I had the hope that e.g. the ATM 
drivers that seem to have an active maintainer might get fixed.

But I'm not religious regarding this issue as long as you accept my 
-Werror-implicit-function-declaration patch...
