Pretty much. The heuristics aren't prefect but they are pretty good.

Interesting. No I haven't seen this one. This appears to be one of
those silly little corner cases I failed to account for in my checks.
It looks like you don't have CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL defined, and it
appears utsname_syscall and ipcdata_syscall both become NULL pointers
if they aren't needed. So the complaint is a false positive.

Yes. Thank you. I figure as long as we are reasonably close people
we should catch most if not all things before this is merged into
Linus's tree.
Patch in a moment.
