It sort of takes a while to test the randconfig thing...  diff -w
doesn't catch every single issue.  For example:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-driver-devel/msg78707.html

That's the only time I noticed a mistake like that which diff -w missed.

Also here is my rename_rev.pl script.  It's pretty useful.  Pipe
patches to it and it filters out the white space changes.
