Sparse 0.4.4 is released

[Christopher Li <sparse@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a long due release. The sparse 0.4.4 can be downloaded from:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/devel/sparse/dist/

The new sparse has a lot of bugs fixes. It will report less noise
while checking the new kernel tree. It compiles better with the
new gcc as well.

The sparse project is in the process of moving to the MIT license.
Dan is coordinating the efforts. Most sparse developers sign off
the MIT license already. If you haven't done so, please contact
Dan off the list regarding the new license.

Here is the short summery of the changes in this release.

Have a nice long week end.

Chris
