As noted in the commit message, I ran diff <(objdump -Dr) <(objdump -Dr)
on objects files compiled with and without the patch with clang and gcc
for x86_64 and gcc for i386 (i386 does not build with clang) and there
was zero difference aside from the file names.

At the end of the day, I do not really care how the warning get fixed,
just that it does since it is the only one on x86_64 defconfig.

Cheers,
Nathan
