We should figure out a way to turn this warning off in the compiler.

It's a stupid warning.  It never fixes any bugs.  It sometimes
introduces bugs.

In the kernel if you are in drivers/ and you have a loop which iterates
over 2 million times that's probably a bug.  But GCC is very very
stupid and not designed to be a static analysis tool.  It does not know
which loops can iterate more than 2 million times.  Even when it knows
that the loop only loops up to 5 or 10 times it still warns that maybe
it will loop over 2 million times.  INSULTS AND DISPARAGEMENT!

Seriously, please disable this warning unless you can point to one
single bug that it has fixed.
