Sparse is not happy to see non-static variable without declaration:
lib/vsprintf.c:61:6: warning: symbol 'no_hash_pointers' was not declared. Should it be static?

Declare respective variable in the local header.

It seems odd to create such a local header and then refer to it from
other subsystems.

What's the downside of just putting this into the new
include/linux/sprintf.h? If someone wants to access this variable,
they will one way or another.

Ug, I hate "../../" includes. Can we have this in one of the main header
files?
