This patch also does other things not mentioned here (coding style
cleanups), which isn't allowed in a single patch (only do one thing per
patch, and never not document what you are doing...)

It also adds checkpatch warnings, which I will not accept in patches at
all here.  People are spending a lot of time cleaning up the coding
style issues, please NEVER add new ones, that just causes more work to
be needed to be done, and for people to have to go back and reclean
files they have already cleaned up.

So, sorry, I have to stop here at this series.  I've applied the first 3
to the opw-next branch of staging.git so they can live somewhere until
3.13-rc1 is out.

I know you spent a lot of time making these 120 patches to send me, but
that too is crazy.  You shouldn't wait that long to get feedback and
send patches to me at all.  Please send them in smaller series, with
less time between patch submissions.

So, care to just send me 10 patches or so now, which I can review and
accept if good, and we can sync up and continue from there?

thanks,
