Subject: [PATCH 00/16] update checkpatch to v0.31

After a long hiatus here is a batch of checkpatch updates from my tree.
I have resynced with the version in v2.6.36-rc1 and added tests for all
of the changes therein.  This has thrown up a couple of regressions introduced
in those changes.  This update includes fixes for those, as below:

  checkpatch: fix regressions in "fix handling of leading spaces"
  checkpatch: ensure kconfig help checks only apply when we are adding help

The rest of my commits mostly fixes for false positives reported directly
to me.  There are also a couple of fixes from Joe and Rabin which I've
integrated and tested.

Joe et al thanks for chiming in on many of the pending threads, most
helpful.

Complete changelog below.
