Small hint...
If you use:

    make C=2 fs/ext4/extents_status.o

Then kbuild will run sparse on all targets you specify,
even if they do not need to be rebuild.
In other words - you then do not need to delete the .o file first.

This works for all the usual ways you can specify a target so to
check all of ext4 you just issue:

    make C=2 fs/ext4/
