disas/arm-a64.cc is purely QEMU code and should use the QEMU coding
style. For Linux header files, libvixl and other imported code, people
usually know how they have to handle them. My own patch also fails when
it is checked with checkpatch.pl: it uses tabs, and some lines are too
long. It's also imported code...
