Paul E. McKenney 41a2901e7d rcu: Remove SPARSE_RCU_POINTER Kconfig option
The sparse-based checking for non-RCU accesses to RCU-protected pointers
has been around for a very long time, and it is now the only type of
sparse-based checking that is optional.  This commit therefore makes
it unconditional.

Matthew Wilcox 291b9d7368 Improve sparse documentation
Add documentation of -DCONFIG_SPARSE_RCU_POINTER.
I started to add documentation of -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ as well, but
discovered I'm too late; that's now enabled by default.

Michael S. Tsirkin 9536099a8e Documentation/sparse: drop __bitwise__
We dropped __CHECK_ENDIAN__ so __bitwise__ is now an implementation
detail. People should use __bitwise everywhere.

Fold the sparse document into the development tools set; no changes to the
text itself beyond formatting.
