It was my idea, I suggest to Baoyou to enable the warning standalone
and fix all instances he finds, so we can eventually enable it by default
for everyone. Once that is in place, we won't even need to use sparse
any more. I suspect it will take a while before all of his patches are
merged upstream, but IIRC he has sent almost all the ones needed for
an arm "allmodconfig" build now, and a lot have been accepted.
