trailing whitespaces in the Linux-kernel :)

Hi there,

I've played around with Andrew Morton's script to remove trailing white spaces in kernel patches.
http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt

I used it against the official patches from www.kernel.org and this is the result:

Kernelversion	Size of the patch	Size without trailing WS Number of trailing WS percent of patch

2.6.12		24539730		24531535		8195			0.0334%
2.6.13		28539730		28942472		1923			0.0066%
2.6.14		23024224		23021802		2422			0.0105%
2.6.15		34260720		34258304		2416			0.0071%
2.6.16		29085385		29082215		3170			0.0109%
2.6.17		32637502		32636357		1145			0.0035%
2.6.18		30005947		30005192		 755			0.0025%

2.6.17-rc7-mm1	26559614		26559450		 164			0.0006%

Happy hacking,
Henne
