virtblk_result returns blk_status_t which is a bitwise restricted type, so we are not supposed to stuff it in a plain int temporary variable. All we do with it is pass it on to a function expecting blk_status_t so the generated code is ok, but we get warnings from sparse: drivers/block/virtio_blk.c:326:36: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different base types) @@ expected int status @@ +got restricted blk_status_t @@ drivers/block/virtio_blk.c:334:33: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different base types) @@ expected restricted +blk_status_t [usertype] error @@ got int status @@ Make sparse happy by using the correct type.
