From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Teach sparse about the "indirect_branch" attribute as used in
Linux kernel:
#define __noretpoline __attribute__((indirect_branch("keep")))
and tell sparse to ignore it.
This eliminates over 148K warnings (which also cause the
0day bot to send error reports uselessly).
Or does sparse need to do something with it?
