That's true, and it hurt. But there are a lot of real bugs in there.

I thought of adding a stricter __must_check like

#ifdef CONFIG_MUST_CHECK_ANAL
#define __must_check_anal __must_check
#else
#define __must_check_anal
#endif

which we can still do, of course.

But it'd be better to fix the bugs...
