Subject: [GIT] final batch of kbuild updates 

Hi Linus.

Here follows the final batch of kbuild updates for the merge window.

Highlights:

o We no longer let sparse warm about void-valued expressions
o We have implmented additional checks on out user space headers
  We do not fail on these yet - there are to much to be fixed.
o Added some long needed documentation for kconfig and kbuild
  Always room for more - especially on the kbuild parts.

This set includes a fix in the m68k specific Kconfig file - this 
is acked by Gert.

The kconfig changes is mostly adding comments. The actual changes will
wait until next merge window.

Please pull from:

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sam/kbuild-next.git master

	Sam
