Subject: Many unexpected warnings with current sparse

Updated sparse to get rid of some unneeded kernel sparse check
warnings but now get many more

I get 100s of warnings similar to

./include/linux/quota.h:114:17: error: Expected ( after asm
./include/linux/quota.h:114:17: error: got __inline

but that is simply
        default:
                BUG();

Any idea a way to quiet those - there are too many sparse warnings now
to find any real warnings that are introduced by kernel changes?
