Nathan Chancellor reported an additional -Wdeclaration-after-statement warning that appears in a system header on arm, this still needs a workaround.
FWIW, I had a go at moving to c99 a few weeks ago (to be able to use for-loop-declarations in some concurrency primitives), and when I tried, I also saw declaration-after-statement warnings when building modpost.c, which is easy enough to fix:

I think the KBUILD_USERCFLAGS portion and the modpost.c fix for it make sense regardless of the -std=gnu11 change, but your change to KBUILD_CFLAGS is not actually needed because the warning is already enabled there -- gnu89 allows intermingled declarations since gcc-3.4, so the warning flag was added during early 2.6.x kernels.
