But there *are* some warnings that make sense to complain about without

I'd treat everything checkpatch says as a warning anyway, because it gets
confused by things like macros often enough that you can't guarantee
that everything it thinks is an error is truly an error.
Well, we always have the option of ignoring the return code and just
looking at the output. Would be nice to be able to automate the check
somewhat reliably though, and just override the false positives when
they pop up.
