[PATCH] Ignore the may_alias GCC attribute

[PATCH] Ignore the may_alias GCC attribute

Unfortunately, linux-sparse seems to reject my git send-emails with
GMail's SMTP server, so I'm attaching the git format-patch instead.

may_alias is used in the wild (glib) and makes sparse spew a lot of
unhelpful warning messages. Ignore it (for now?).
