I got this:
+       struct kvm_kernel_irq_routing_entry __rcu *irq_entry;
which is because checkpatch does not know about __rcu.
So here's a patch to teach it about that tag.

Hmm, why __percpu is in $Attribute, and __rcu in $Sparse ?

I can't say: we have __kernel and __user and __iomem address spaces in $Sparse
and only __percpu in $Attribute, so I thought address spaces belong in
$Sparse and __percpu just sneaked in there with a ton of other
attributes added by 03f1df7da5696ddfa6e167b37e0c0ce5aad3de79.

Should __percpu be moved to $Sparse perhaps?
