Actually, no.  If gcc can deduce that the comparison is always false
then I want it not to build the body of the if.  The only thing I don't
know how to do is to shut up the warning in this case.  What you've done
is make gcc pretend it doesn't know the if is always false.

You didn't actually compile this, did you?  Apparently the signature of
the kthread_run function changed from returning void to returning int.
Unfortunately the person who fixed this up forgot to add a return 0 at
the end of the voyager thread() function .. which is the correct fix.
