Thanks, that takes care of the vast majority of extra warnings that this
series produces. I have included all my build logs at [1].

The slightly-filtered-warnings file is the result of searching for all
warnings in the log files and passing them through 'sort | uniq -c',
additionally ignoring the instances of -Wnull-pointer-arithmetic that
are present in certain configurations, as those are pretty well known at
this point.

The more-filtered-warnings file does the same thing but also ignores
instances of the three warnings above, which just reveals some instances
of -Wunused-but-set-parameter, which I am pretty sure I have seen you
sent fixes for recently, so I think with those three warnings left as
disabled, this series should be safe.
