Hrm.
include/linux/mmzone.h:#define SECTION_NID_SHIFT 3
I'm going to suggest that we don't allow for 2^29 node IDs in a single
system, so this doesn't actually represent a bug that needs to be fixed.
On the other hand, this type of bug continually bites us, and it would
be good to warn about this kind of thing. So in the spirit of silencing
the warning by doing the promotion that C should have specified in
the first place ...

[PATCH] Avoid a warning in sparse memory support
cppcheck warns that we're possibly losing information by shifting an int.
It's a false positive, because we don't allow for a NUMA node ID that
large, but if we ever change SECTION_NID_SHIFT, it could become a problem,
and in any case this is usually a legitimate warning. Fix it by adding
the necessary cast, which makes the compiler generate the right code.
