So let's make a new rule:
We absolutely NEVER add things like "must_check" unless not checking
causes a real and obvious SECURITY ISSUE.
And we absolutely *never* add crap like "deprecated", where the only
point of the warning is to effectively hide *real* problems.
So realistically, the only thing that needs must_check is pretty much
things like "get_user()" and quite frankly, I'm not sure even about that
one.
Ok?
Sounds great to me... My overall goal is killing useless warnings that
continually obscure real ones.
