Yeah, those warnings were the reason I turned PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES into
a tristate and not a boolean, otherwise a make allmodconfig or
allyesconfig would enable it and spam the compile with those warnings.

I simply ignore them, so adding a way to turn them off when that is
enabled is probably a good idea.
