warnings during compile and boot

[Adam Turk]

Hello,

I just compiled 2.6.25-rc6 and got a bunch of warnings which are annoying.  I also see new informational warnings during boot:
driver 'sd' needs updating - please use bus_type methods
driver 'sr' needs updating - please use bus_type methods

warnings:
