Where's the potential side effect? Since you move ...

.. this out, it must be the one. I've looked at it, yet I can't spot
anything:
#define guest_handle_cast(hnd, type) ({ \
type *_x = (hnd).p; \
(XEN_GUEST_HANDLE_PARAM(type)) { _x }; \
})
As a rule of thumb, when things aren't obvious, please call out the
specific aspect / property in descriptions of such patches.
I guess it's because guest_handle_cast() is a macro, yet it's
lowercase
so looks like a function?
If Eclair didn't look at the macro-expanded code, it wouldn't even see
the sizeof(). Hence I don't expect the thing to be mistaken for a
function
call.
Looking at the fully preprocessed code [1], there is an assignment to
CHAR *_x inside a sizeof(), therefore compat_handle_cast is triggering
the violation when used in such a way to be inside the sizeof().
if ( !((!!((((get_cpu_info()->current_vcpu))->domain)->arch.paging.mode

__builtin_expect(!!(((n)) < (~0U / (sizeof(**(({ CHAR16 *_x =

vendor.name).c; (__compat_handle_CHAR16) { (full_ptr_t)_x };
}))._)))),1) && ((unsigned long)((unsigned long)((void *)(
full_ptr_t)(({ CHAR16 *_x = (__typeof__(**(info->vendor.name)._)

Wasn't there some other MISRA rule about lowercase/uppercase for macro
names?
There isn't one imposing this restriction (at least in MISRA C:2012, I
haven't checked earlier editions).
I can't recall having run into one, but I also haven't memorized them
all.
