Ok.

You don't want to fix the causes, per your previous message, as the
code is imported from another package and should not be differentiated
if not strictly needed to ease merging their enhancements.
As a matter of facts, the etherboot package doesn't have -Wshadow, so
the problem either remains unnoticed or is not a problem at all,
according to who comments on the issue. They use -Wall -Wno-format
-Wno-unused, which is pretty lazy, in my opinion.
