Subject[PATCH v2 0/7] Compiler Attributes: cover letter
Hi all,

This is a quick cover letter for the series, explaining the
differences between v1-v2.

Added "features" of the patch series:

* Added direct URL links for all attributes to gcc & clang docs.

* Added proper support for gcc 4.8 and 4.9 (i.e. for assume_aligned
and no_sanitize_address).

* Added the reason for each optional attribute to be so, for future reference.

* Removed some __CHECKER__ tests

* Removed __deprecated_for_modules

* Removed noinline and noclone inside notrace since we are now post gcc 4.6

Modified v1 -> v2:

* Moved quite a few things out of the patch into 1-6, so that the
7th is easier to read.

* Sorted them all (whether they are optional or not) by attribute name
(this actually puts some similar ones in the same group, e.g.
format and unused
and I think it may be the best of both worlds).

* Moved __must_be_array out of compiler_types.h to compiler.h (since
it is not really used as a attribute).

I might be forgetting something. Also, note that I have not
compile-tested as much as last time, so please consider it untested
for the moment. Take a look!

Cheers,
Miguel
