 What level of testing is expected before I submit my change?

Doesn't the patchwork buildbot also have C=1 ? You have been pointing
out failures for C=1, so it probably should be documented here.

We have a number of cases where C=1 failures are false positives. 
Sparse is not getting much love these days, unfortunately.
I didn't want to force people to bend over backwards to fix stuff
we can let fly upstream. I can't think of a case where W=1 was okay.
