The following patches silence over 100,000 warnings in a W=2 kernel build. This series does most of it by using the compilers diagnostic controls. The first patch in the series adds macros to invoke the pragmas for those controls. Macros are provided for GCC and clang. Although they are highly compatible in this area, macros are provided for compiler-specific controls, and there is one example that uses a clang-specific control (look for DIAG_CLANG_IGNORE).
Some missing-field-initializers warnings were resolved using the diagnostic control macros simply because so many lines would have had to have been changed. At this stage Mark thought about avoiding possible merge issues. If the maintainer would rather resolve them by using designated initialization, just say so. The combined effect of this patch series and his other patches that did not use these diagnostic control macros was to reduce the number of W=2 warnings from 127,164 to 1,345!
