New drivers/filesystems should get treatment such as:
1. build cleanly, no compile/link warnings 2. check with sparse, eliminate its warnings 3. use 'make checkstack buildcheck namespacecheck' and fix their problems
similar to what I recently did on the Areca/arcmsr driver and on libata-acpi additions.
