Re more checks. I guess we can borrow some from the existing checkers:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v4.12/dev-tools/sparse.html
https://bottest.wiki.kernel.org/coccicheck
https://lwn.net/Articles/752408/
https://lwn.net/Articles/691882/

They do some checks very well. But if we could do something better (more true positives, less false positives), that may be useful.
Also figuring out which of the existing checks in clang-tidy/analyzer are relevant/useful for kernel is another direction.
Also making the thread-safety analysis work for kernel may be a big deal.
