I applied these patches to f15-branch and everything built and ran OK -
I guess warn_unused_result would have resulted in compile failure?

Anyway, as mentioned on IRC, these patches are intended for master, but
they're also groundwork for the anaconda-as-squashfs-live-image stuff. 

If memory usage becomes an F15 blocker we might need to cherry-pick them
both into f15-branch, once the lorax patches are ready.
