I believe clang can already notice these problems with
Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare (which is how the kernel
test robot finds them):

Unfortunately gcc doesn't seem to have anything equivalent as far as I
can see.

Hmm, so by casting it into a pointer, you're hoping to trigger a
"comparison of pointer and integer without cast" warning on misuse?
That's a good idea, but as you noted, the C99 spec says comparison of
pointers is only guaranteed to work if both are pointers into the same
structure/array, otherwise the results are technically undefined.
