Not exactly. The patch which makes them nops went into 3.8. Now there's a patch queued in, Gregs tree I presume, to remove them all and the #defines which causes the compile failure. > As to the sparse warnings, this patch fixed the ones that > were actual bugs in the new code, although we could have > made that more clear in the patch description. > > http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=135716576204083&w=2 Ah, thanks ...

If it's a simple gcc bug, just ignore it. I do need you to redo the patches to remove the __dev annotations, though. We can't risk introducing a bisect killing compile breakage if Greg's tree merges before mine in the next merge window.
