The tool to use it is called 'sparse'.  You can get it from its
git repository (you can view it here:
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/sparse.git;a=summary ).
Or you can download daily tarball snapshots of it from:
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/git-snapshots/sparse/

As far as explaining and using it, you'll just need to look at
kernel source code and this email from Linus:
