Subject: Warning message when using sparse

On recent kernels, sparse reports the following message for every source 
file that is processed. The warning does not seem to affect the results. 
I'm not sure when the problem started, but I think it was with 2.6.35-rc1.


   CHECK   drivers/staging/rtl8712/rtl871x_rf.c
/home/finger/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h:297:21: error:

/home/finger/linux-2.6/arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeature.h:297:21: error:
