ACK.  My apologies - that pile of brainos had been introduced when
I'd been fixing the set_bit() abuses in there (a bunch of places
had been casting address of u32 to unsigned long * and then using
set_bit() to modify it).  FWIW, it had nothing to do with sparse -
just enough RTFS to spot the original bug and not enough of
RTFPatch to spot the introduced breakage.  Sorry.
