I've been killing off a *lot* of checkpatch warnings, and I'm probably getting a tad overzealous. I'll drop these from the patch series next time I rebase, and avoid doing this in the future. Thanks for the input.
Any suggestions on other checkpatch warnings? Most of what remains are "don't introduce new typedefs" warnings - should these be removed as well, or am I safe to leave these? 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.
