I was aware that a couple of architectures get new warnings,
and a previous version of my patch series turned -Wmissing-prototypes
off for those architectures.

Since most other architecture maintainers had already fixed all
the warnings after that series, my hope was that this would
happen for the rest as well.

I did all my testing with CONFIG_WERROR force-enabled, so
the bit I missed here is that at least three architectures
that are missing fixes also set -Werror: mips, sparc and alpha.

How about adding a patch to no longer force -Werror for
these?

I'll also follow up with patches for the top warnings on mips
and arc, which should make most of the currently failing builds
clean again even with CONFIG_WERROR:
