What's your impression... should we activate -Wno-unused ? or should we
attempt to fix them?

I'd like to go drop all / most of the #ifdef UNUSED_CODE segments from
coreboot over time, making it easier to follow the code that is actually
there.

Most of the existing warnings are amd k8 / fam10 warnings... and it's
kind of tricky to understand why one board does init different than
another one. Why don't all boards use " wait_all_aps_started" and / or "
wait_all_core0_started" and / or "allow_all_aps_stop"? I think the
unused messages show that we have too much unnecessary diversity here
(aka rank growth)

This would need help from someone with a GX2 (or willing to check out
the data sheets ;-)

Marc indicated, this could be a compiler "problem". We could maybe add
an explicit check for the array index.
