There are tons of them indeed, but that's normal for any static analysis
tool.  I've attempted to clean up the original log by ignoring the most
noisy and dubious diagnostics and maintaining false positives list,
starting with the ones pointed out by kib@.

That's exactly right, generating the check log is easy, finding people
motivated enough to triage it (or finding the motivation within oneself)
is tough.  Maybe this ~2.4k line log would attract more interest than
the first raw, full >16k line one:

    freefall:/home/danfe/pvs-kernel-filtered-2019-05-28.log.xz

I'd appreciate if experts in their areas (cam/scsi, dev drivers, geom,
kern, netinet, nfs, etc.) glanced over and see if they might help with
anything there.  If you find a false positive, please tell me so I
can add it to the ignore list.  Thanks!
