I have two questions:

1. Would it be hard to make the byte-compiler not warn in the
situation you describe?

2. Isn't something like this enough to silence the byte-compiler?

    (defalias 'foo-defadvice
      (if (< emacs-major-version 24)
          'defadvice
        (lambda () (message "foo"))))
    (foo-defadvice)
