sparse will warn if memcpy() (and some others memcpy-like
functions) is called with a very large static byte count.
But this warning cannot be disabled and the limit is arbitrary
fixed at 100000.
The goal of this series is to allow to disable this warning if
found too bothersome or to allow to configure its limit.
Changes since v1:
- take in account Ramsay's remarks and suggestion:
- fix some name mixups in the man page & commit message
- use a limit of 0 as being equivalent to an infinite
limit, effectively disabling the warning.
- somewhat rewrote the man page for -fmemcpy-max-count
- extend the limit's range
The series can also be found on the tree:

Luc Van Oostenryck (3):
memcpy()'s byte count is unsigned
add support for -Wmemcpy-max-count
add support for -fmemcpy-max-count
