Ideally, a kernel compile with W=1 enabled should complete cleanly; however, when we run one currently we are presented with ~25k warnings. 'sign-compare' accounts for ~22k of those ~25k. In this patch we're demoting 'sign-compare' warnings to W=2, with a view to fixing the remaining 3k W=1 warnings required for a clean build.
