Wow, ohhweee this will take a little while.

How set in stone is the output of checkpatch.pl ? Specifically;

ERROR: do not initialise globals to 0 or NULL
#596: FILE: fs/zfs/zfs.c:33:
+block_dev_desc_t *zfs_dev_desc = NULL;

That strikes me as dangerous. One lets you fail gracefully (Sorry, X has 
not been initialised) and the other is just a plain crash. I find crashes 
to be very ugly, even if it is only reachable by other developers.




WARNING: do not add new typedefs
#728: FILE: fs/zfs/zfs.c:165:
+typedef struct decomp_entry

I'm seriously not allowed to make new typedefs? ouch.


So yeah, should it always pass without a single problem, or may I employ 
some measure of moderation?
