From: David Howells The attached patch gets rid of a warning produced when compiling mm/page_alloc.c if the arch doesn't supply its own arch_free_page(). The problem is that there's one place in there that ignores the return value of this function, and so you get a warning from gcc about an ineffectual statement.
