Unfortunately, there are some warnings that Microsoft, in their great 
wisdom, decided that driver developers should not choose to ignore, and 
this is one of them...

/wd4242 (which is how you disable warnings in WDK), is one of the things 
I tried before going /W2, only to find that, unlike other warnings, 
which I double-checked you can actually silence with /wd (for instance 
/wd4018 --signed/unsigned mismatch-- can be disabled alright), this one 
could not be silenced.
