Ah, I wasn't clear enough. Whenever you post them, I'll integrate them.
We shouldn't be getting new problems here as I think they're mostly
historical. I do try and look at everything checkpatch tells me and
that in turn should keep new whitespace problems from coming in.
Assuming you do it with a git grep | xargs sed, dropping that below the
'---' in the patch will make any re-fixing up easier too. Thanks!
