Yes I'll clean this up.  It was stolen straight from
include/linux/netlink.h NLMSG_NEXT with that exact spacing.

I will look at all of the my 80+ character lines again.  This one in
particular, I will not break up.  I might read a little too broadly in
CodingStyle where it says the "exception to this is where exceeding 80
columns significantly increases readability and does not hide
information".
