Subject: ips: remove pointless #warning

From: James Bottomley <[email protected]>

commit e03c2da6574223081b786960e39c1e5ecf5d492d upstream.

non-x86 builds want the #warning in the IPS code about compiling on the wrong architecture removed because it keeps triggering on their platforms build farms. Transform from a compile time warning into a runtime one with taint to preserve the original intent of the authors.
