Uh, get_user.  The living envy the dead.  This may be the best macro soup
in the whole kernel.  The code is so horrible because it's a functions that
is used very frequently in the kernel.  Breathe at it, you get an extra
instruction and that expanded a few thousand times acrosst he kernel.  And
quite often I had to pick the ugly solution because the bogus warnings as
you are experiencing are haunting the implementation forever.

Since a few days I'm using binutils 2.20 and gcc 4.5.0; all defconfigs
are building ok.  I'm uploading the rpms (see list below signature) I
built for my own use to

  ftp://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/crossdev/
  http://ftp.linux-mips.org/pub/linux/mips/crossdev/

These were built on F12 and come with no userland libraries so are
perfect for your kernel-only use.
