    [PATCH] checkstack false positive fix · 215897da
    Jörn Engel authored
    Randy Dunlap found one case where checkstack reported a false
    positive.  From objdump of efi_stub.o:
       5:   81 ea 00 00 00 c0       sub    $0xc0000000,%edx
    
    With the old code, this was interpreted as a negative number.  The
    output line was:
    0xc0116f5d efi_call_phys:                               1073741824
    
    Randy wanted a change to return the correct number, like this:
    0xc0116f5d efi_call_phys:                               3221225472
    
    adding "or I can just ignore it, like I've been doing for awhile..."
    
    Let's help him with the most sophisticated electronic tools and have
    the script actively ignore this case for him.
