Ok, the type breakage that occurred when I was trying to fix some stupid 
behaviour of the "addressof" (&) operator should now hopefully be fixed,
and I've tried to make sure that sparse gets all the types right. In the 
process, I think I got rid of all the type warnings from the kenrel, 
except the ones related to address spaces (that are proper warnings).

Which is not to say that there aren't a lot of cases that sparse _should_ 
warn about still - I suspect it allows way too many things that it really 
shouldn't. I don't have any good test-cases, so pointers to such things 
would be welcome.

I'm hoping I get the type checks all done right, so that I never have to 
visit the damn thing ever again. Unrealistic, I guess.
