Sparse's home page used to be a wiki (sparse.wiki.kernel.org)
but this wiki only contained a short intro and the release notes.
But nowadays, sparse's main page is sparse.docs.kernel.org,
which contains all what was in the wiki but also other documentation,
mainly oriented about sparse's internals.
So, add a link to this in the kernel documentation.

When I answered saying I'd applied the v1 patch, I meant I'd really
applied this one, of course...sorry for the noise.
