I don't know if the gcc decision has been made or if the warning is implemented, but apparently there are noises about it at least. There is also a secondary issue, which people may or may not care about: the Intel compiler apparently does compile the kernel, including gcc-syntax inline asms. So the "extreme unportability" of the kernel source code base isn't as true as it once was, and thus it's probably sensible to be aware of unnecessary gcc'isms.
