You called the patches
Fix a couple of sparse warnings in arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c
Fix one sparse warning in kernel/extable.c
trace: fix four sparse warnings

Better would have been to tell in the headline what the patches fix in
particular. The fact that the issues were found using the static
checker sparse is of lesser interest and is documented in the changelog
anyway. For example:
x86: io_apic: make a needlessly global symbol static; clean up 0/NULL
initialization
kernel: exceptions: add missing include
kernel: trace: make a needlessly global symbol static; add missing include
