Thanks a lot for your notice.
In my side, 2 warnings and 2 errors are found after running checkpath.pl.
I'll resend the patch after fix as title : [PATCH v3].

But for the whitespace problem, I'm afraid something wrong in my mail client - outlook 2007.
Patch mail sent from myself has normal tab indentation with plain text.
But in notice mail from akpm, all tabs were replaced with 8 spaces !
Thanks & BR
