Like Scsi_Host and include/scsi/scsi_host.h? My favourite coding style
standards! It has the same space issues I have, but my code does not use
capital letters :)

I always wondered... I submit almost 5 thousands line of code and I'm
blamed that I do not have or have too many spaces in several dozens of
lines. Should I get it as kernel hackers can not say anything bad about
project except amount of spaces?

Btw, ext4 headers have the same issues with long lines as DST has. I'm
pretty sure no one would notice that (as long as in DST) without
checkpatch, which basically means that people do not care about the
code.
