This is one of the very few warnings left in the kernel.  Userland
already compiles without any fatal warning.

Because the hpt driver is submitted by the vendor, the warning you are
encountering can't easily be fixed.  It will hopefully be fixed on the
next code drop from the vendor.

In the meantime, I will put a band-aid in the Makefile.
