Unfortunately this broke because the build passes flags that are only
meaningful to the preprocessor (esp. on an LLVM=1 build) and
-Qunused-arguments was removed from kbuild in commit 8d9acfce3332 ("kbuild:
Stop using '-Qunused-arguments' with clang") purposefully.

And some flags are needed and others not so keeping track of which is which
just for this is asking for things to be fragile/break, esp. on the rando
arches.

The win here isn't very much overall so I think I will revert this change
for v4.

(All your other requests have already been applied for v4 :)
