Ah OK. My wording is a little misleading. The warnings are not useful
for the *kernel*, as previous decided by the gcc settings when building
the kernel. And it is only only due to including kernel data structures
in the selftests, that we get the warnings on clang.
So it is not something unique to the selftests. There is nothing that
the selftests' code does that triggers these warnings, other than the
act of including the kernel's data structures.
I can post a v2 to update both the comment and the commit description.
Yes please.
