I sent a separate e-mail to njl@ and marks@ about the acpi_wakeup patch.
The patch was suggested to me by kan@.  He suggested that
I remove the static variables which clashed with the global variables
of the same name, and to remove asm calls which saved them in acpi_wakeup.c

This behavior in GCC seems to have been there for a long time
(I can reproduce it with 2.95, 3.4, and 4.0).  I can ask the GCC people
about this.  The other alternative is to remove -Wredundant-decls
from the kernel Makefiles.  I asked why we use -Wredundant-decls, because
it seems to warn against legal C code:

I'm not enough of a C guru to know....

Because I got this compiler error in in.c :
