I'll change the patch title to "kmemcheck: work around bogus sparsewarning" and fix the indentation, sounds ok?
Meanwhile, I Cced sparse mailing list in case somebody else knowsanything else about this warning (what it means, whether it'sjustified in this case, whether it should be fixed in sparse, etc.).
Thanks.
