Subject: checkpatch: false positives for __.*const

Hi,

init.h defines some attributes starting with '__' and ending with const, like
'__devinitconst'. They produce false positives with checkpatch:

ERROR: "fooconst bar" should be "foo const bar"
#154: FILE: drivers/uio/uio_of_genirq.c:70:
+static const struct of_device_id __devinitconst uio_of_genirq_match[] = {

like caused by this patch:

http://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/29664/

I investigated a bit but I am not sure if this should be fixed in the regexp
responsible for this error or, more general, in $Attributes.

Regards

   Wolfram
