I asked follow-up questions because it seems like at least partially a
matter of style to say that the business of defining STORAGE_CLASS_SP_C
is weird.  Maybe there is a better approach than what is currently done,
but maybe there isn't.  Maybe the checkpatch warning should just be
suppressed (if that's something that can be done).  I would be grateful
for some additional pointers.
