Disable gnu-variable-sized-type-not-at-end so that tests and libraries
can create overlays of variable sized arrays at the end of structs when
using a fixed number of entries, e.g. to get/set a single MSR.
It's possible to fudge around the warning, e.g. by defining a custom
struct that hardcodes the number of entries, but that is a burden for
both developers and readers of the code.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
