Subject: gcc tickets for sparse attributes

Hi,

I have filed gcc tickets asking for direct support in gcc for some
sparse extensions that we use heavily in the kernel:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59850
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=59851

However, I would also like support for the context extensions, but I'm
not knowledgeable enough to describe the semantics accurately.  Would
anyone be willing to file a ticket describing how the context extension
works well enough that it could be implemented?
