Hi Mauro,

This belongs to "media: add a common struct to be embed on media graph 
objects". I know that you're reluctant to rebase, split and squash patches 
from fear of introducing breakages, but white space fixes should be really 
harmless :-)

The rest of the patch looks good to me, but as mentioned over IRC, I still 
think it would be beneficial to do a final round of rebase, split and squash 
as otherwise it's pretty difficult to perform a final review and ensure 
everything is right. This patch looks like a pretty safe candidate in that 
regard.
