hmm, I can see reasons to leave npe alone wrt whitespace changes.

this may not be the most efficient way of doing it (I don't see
git-revert having a --path option), but this will do #3 above:

git-format-patch --stdout --relative=cpu/ixp/npe HEAD^ | patch -d cpu/ixp/npe -R -p 1 ; git add cpu/ixp/npe; git commit --amend

I'd add something like 'npe exempt' in the commit message.
