I found this because it caused a problem in a parser I was working
on but Sparse warns about "warning: expression using sizeof(void)".

It's sort of hard to run Sparse on nouveau because you can't build
the individual .o files.

$ kchecker --sparse drivers/gpu/drm/nouveau/core/engine/disp/nv50.c
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `relocs'.
