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.
