Any suggestions on other checkpatch warnings? Most of what remains

"don't introduce new typedefs" warnings - should these be removed as well,
or am I safe to leave these?
I'm personally not a big fan of non-enum typedefs unless
the typedef hides some arch or size specific information
that's otherwise hard to handle.
I think struct/function/native type equivalent typedefs
are better removed.
coccinelle is a good tool for this.
I rather like enum typedefs, but that's not a common view
in lk land.
I ask because these changes will be huge, and
are unlikely to improve readability (but I don't know where the kernel
community stands on having billions of typedefs everywhere.
I counted slightly less than billions. I got 281.
