I also have some thought about trying to catch this in a coccinelle
script. That has the trade-off that its only caught by running the
spatch/coccinelle scripts, but it would completely eliminate the need to
modify Kbuild at all.

I'm going to try and experiment with that direction and see if its feasible.

Coccinelle can't handle all of the relevant checks, since it does not
parse the macros, and can only look at the uncompiled code.

I'll have a v2 out soon with Vladimir's suggested approach.

Thanks,

I should mention that my earlier patch is a big blob, but it should
really be broken down into little bits which are each squashed into
existing patches from this set, until nothing remains of it.
