No.  We don't right-justify code to 80 columns.  That's not how it is
done.  Trying to do it just makes you look like the proverbial 'kid' in
your pseudonym, rather than an adult to be taken seriously.

Really, PLEASE follow the indentation patterns of the rest of the code
base - where continued lines are left-justified to be underneath the
character after (, and NOT right-justified to 80 columns.  Violating
style doesn't make your code invalid, but does make your patches less
likely to be applied.

Again, the prevailing conventions in the code base is that you put
spaces around every binary operator.  Yes, there is existing old code
that does not meet the conventions, but it is not an excuse to add new
code that is gratuitously different.

Keven and I both want you to use error_setg(), but to use it correctly -
and the correct way is to NOT supply a trailing \n.

The least you can do for showing that gratitude is to actually improve
your next revisions along the lines of the comments you have been given.
 Quit making it feel like pulling teeth just to get your patches to
match the coding conventions prevalent in the project.
