[ofa-general] Re: sparse output

I added at least this to my 2.6.24 tree:

commit d76781d993412d0d1f05894fe0749622b37b1329
Author: Roland Dreier <rolandd at cisco.com>
Date:   Mon Aug 13 20:32:31 2007 -0700

    IB: find_first_zero_bit() takes unsigned pointer
    
    Fix sparse warning
    
        drivers/infiniband/core/device.c:142:6: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different signedness)
        drivers/infiniband/core/device.c:142:6:    expected unsigned long const *addr
        drivers/infiniband/core/device.c:142:6:    got long *[assigned] inuse
    
    by making the local variable inuse unsigned.  Does not affect generated
    code at all.
