Yeah, this error message is already only emitted for directives in
macro arguments -- in this case, pr_info.  It's in sparse's
preprocessor code; the error arises when a directive is spotted while
parsing a macro's arguments.  By the time sparse (or an idealized C
compiler) parses the arguments of a real function, the token stream is
already the output of the preprocessor and any directives are gone.

Cheers,
