I was surprised by this supposedly being the only violation. And indeed it
wasn't very hard to find more. For example, we have a number of
"while ( num_online_cpus() > 1 && ... )", which become compile-time
constant (false) when NR_CPUS=1.

Hmm, this way the deviation applies even when LLC_COLORING=y.

As to the comment wording - looks like we're pretty inconsistent with that
right now. I, for one, don't think the Misra rule needs (re)stating there;
the SAF index points at all the data that's needed if one cares about the
specifics of the deviation.
