Hi,

Thank Andrew for giving me some tips how the -mm series works.

I put together a series of patches I have been working on:

http://userweb.kernel.org/~chrisl/sparse-0.2-cl1/

Hopefully it will show up later at:

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/chrisl/sparse/s...

The most interesting part is the inline function annotation.
The new checker can find out inlined function usage. The interrupt
checker does not depend on x86 asm instruction any more.


Again, comment and feed back are always welcome.

Have a nice week end.

Chris
