    Try static void __attribute((unused)) unused(void)

    That should fix it

    Arjan is looking at making __setup from 2.4 work on 2.4 at the same time
    as I am trying to clean up all the duplicated 2.4 compat code in drivers.
    The end goal is that most 2.4 code will work in 2.2, which means I can
    sensibly encourage vendors to develop directly to the 2.4 API

    Right now I'm having a lot of 'you'll want to forward port to 2.4 and XYZ
    will need fixiing', 'Oh we dont care until (list of vendors) release a 2.4
    product' type discussions
