 Bugs (like your radeon issue) should be reported in bugzilla.

The radeon issue I'm familiar with was related to running a (locally
rebuild) Rawhide kernel rpm on a Fedora 11 installation. That caused
some problems with the Fedora 11 X Server radeon stuff. I don't think
bugzilla will be of much use for an issue like that.

Re: Building kernel-2.6.31-0.190 rawhide in F11

 Build, instal and boot went fine, except radeon driver does not work.
 Radeon works just fine in  2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11.i586, but not
 in 2.6.31-0.190...

That could be some sort of mismatch between that Rawhide kernel and the
F11 X Server you seem to use (Rawhide currently uses X.Org X Server
1.6.99.1). I'd try one of the following kernel command line options:

nomodeset
radeon.modeset=0

Those could be used to work around some issues with Rawhide's Radeon
kernel driver (or Rawhide's Radeon X module, or whatever) a few weeks
back. (It' s just a guess though. I hardly know anything about the way
the kernel and the X Server interact.)

See commit 2ad76643ff58bb8841f391ea8327c14abe273ea3 (x86: Fix warning
in pvclock.c) for the identical fix in the upstream kernel (i.e. Linus'

 There are numerous other warnings which seem to be inconsequential as
 far as compilation goes. I was wondering if there is a concerted
 effort to thoroughly lint the kernel and get rid of all those
 warnings.

The kernel build system is very quiet by default. As far as I know it is
that quiet (among other things) to make warnings stand out. Valid fixes
for warnings (as the commit I pointed you to) should be accepted without
too much trouble.
