Stephen, your solutions do not work because Aaron has not been allowed
to modify this file.
As long as we are not allowed to modify the Intel base drivers,
I don't see any problem to hide some warnings in them.
The warnings could help us to clean the code or fix some bugs but
we are not allowed to...
It is the responsibility of the driver maintainer to keep this nasty code.
