this was quite innecessary and rude, a link to one of those scripts,
macros, tools that reformat code would have been enough, even
justfuckinggoogleit.com would have been better, no need to start a flame
on this, formatting for code that is going to be part of the kernel I
can understand, but the flame is useless
the time it took you to write that e-mail, and to me this reply, anyone
could have fixed the code formatting AND sent a reference to a code
reformatting tool, script, plugin, whatever
