Alternatively, perhaps, seeing that Kery is sending patches to random
pieces of code - please add a paragraph explaining what kind of tool
you used to detect the issue, and stating that you haven't actually
hit it. Please note that disclosure that the issue has been found
by static analysis tool is _required_ in the kernel process.
