No, not at all.  In the process we find and eliminate the code that
passes *unneccesary* parameters to functions.  The problem is that gcc
cannot tell the difference between functions that are called from
uniform interface vectors.  Things like the sysctl definitions, syscall
handlers, ddb handlers etc are masking the *useful* warnings by sheer
weight of numbers.

Cheers,
