I have fixed that in revision 3854.  Red Hat backported gfp_t from more
recent kernels.

That's fixed too.  The reason is the same.

I could not reproduce this warning, but I was using a 2.6.9-67 kernel
from CentOS for x86_64 platform.  Anyway, I think you can ignore
warnings by using "make WARNINGS="

If I manage to reproduce it and find a way to fix it nicely and safely,
I'll do it.
