Please explain again that this fixes sparse warnings.
And list the sparse warnings that gets fixed - or at least some
abbrevated sample of tham.

Comment about inverse christmas tree apply to this patch in a few spots.

The patch does not apply to -linus.
In realise this is because it is made on top of another patch of yours
that is already in -mm.

But it would be better to say that this first patch should be replaced
by this second patch that does the same and more.
