There seems to be a possible NULL pointer deref bug in
drivers/net/forcedeth.c::nv_loopback_test(). If dev_alloc_skb() fails, the
next line will call skb_put() with a NULL first argument which it'll then
try to deref - kaboom: a NULL pointer deref. Found by coverity (#1337).

While checking gcc 4.1 -Wextra warnings, I stumbled across the following
two warnings:
drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c:528: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
drivers/net/phy/phy_device.c:546: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false
Since phy_read() returns an integer and can return negative values, it seems
to me the best way to get proper error handling working again is to make val
an int. Currently it is an u32, so the < 0 check always fails.

At stage 2 modpost utility is used to check modules. In case of unresolved
symbols modpost only prints warning.
IMHO it is a good idea to fail compilation process in case of unresolved
symbols (at least in modules coming with kernel), since usually such errors
are left unnoticed, but kernel modules are broken.
- new option '-w' is added to modpost:
if option is specified, modpost only warns about unresolved symbols
- modpost is called with '-w' for external modules in Makefile.modpost

tell why a a target got build
enabled by make V=2
Output (listed in the order they are checked):
(1) - due to target is PHONY
(2) - due to target missing
(3) - due to: file1.h file2.h
(4) - due to command line change
(5) - due to missing .cmd file
(6) - due to target not in $(targets)
(1) We always build PHONY targets
(2) No target, so we better build it
(3) Prerequisite is newer than target
(4) The command line stored in the file named dir/.target.cmd
differed from actual command line. This happens when compiler
options changes
(5) No dir/.target.cmd file (used to store command line)
(6) No dir/.target.cmd file and target not listed in $(targets)
This is a good hint that there is a bug in the kbuild file
