NB: might trivially textually conflict with Jim Meyering's
strncpy fix here. (I spotted this typo in the context lines
for his patch...)

Obviously fine.
Reminds me of the misspellings script that was recently run on coreutils:

  http://github.com/lyda/misspell-check

It finds common misspellings in comments and code.
There were a few false positives (rela->real, where "rela" is a variable
name), but otherwise it works well:

I ran this to identify the culprits and to massage its
output into a sed script to fix them:

git ls-files|grep -vF .bin | misspellings -f - |grep -v '^ERROR:' |perl \
  -pe 's/^(.*?)\[(\d+)\]: (\w+) -> "(.*?)"$/sed -i '\''${2}s!$3!$4!'\'' $1/' > k

With one more manual tweak (it wasn't sure if "addres"
should be "adders" or "address", so the sed syntax wasn't right),
I got this:

  sed -i '450s!thru!through!' Changelog
  sed -i '260s!neccessary!necessary!' coroutine-sigaltstack.c
  sed -i '54s!miniscule!minuscule!' disas.c
  sed -i '1094s!thru!through!' hw/usb/hcd-ehci.c
  sed -i '1095s!thru!through!' hw/usb/hcd-ehci.c
  sed -i '21s!unecessary!unnecessary!' qapi-schema-guest.json
  sed -i '307s!explictly!explicitly!' qemu-ga.c
  sed -i '490s!preceeding!preceding!' qga/commands-posix.c
  sed -i '792s!addres!address!' qga/commands-posix.c
  sed -i '6s!beeing!being!' tests/tcg/test-mmap.c

Which induces the change I'm posting separately.
