This has already found some irregularities in the code, like mistakenly using `#import` instead of `#include`. In this patch, I disable warnings for these individual buggy or badly written files, but I intend to post follow-up issues on the respective teams to have them properly fixed.

Ah, dtrace triggers `dollar-in-identifier-extension`. Of course... *sigh*
I actually had this disabled for hotspot on an earlier version of the patch (that had lied dormant in my personal fork for about a year), but I could not reproduce the problem it was supposed to solve now, so I removed it again. Now I know why I had it.
