If you touch this code (which code has not been touched for years),
do it only if you are also willing to do a followup patch that fixes
most of these checkpatch warnings:

total: 1 errors, 9 warnings, 0 checks, 584 lines checked

(Most of these are valid - and there's some other low hanging fruits
as well which you will notice if you read the file.)

When creating a new file in kernel/ there's just no excuse for not
doing it cleanly.

Thanks,

Ingo
