Linux disables this warning completely. We just burnt some developer
cycles, came to the conclusion that the world isn't perfect, that
there's no good (at least good realistic) solution to this problem and
that we should just do the same as Linux.

Disabling this warning for individual files in which it triggers
probably doesn't bring us further.
