Someone on irc found me this rant from Linus:
  https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/7/8/7
That suggests that perhaps someone should patch CodingStyle to
document this style requirement.

That someone shouldn't be me because I don't agree with the
requirement and a rationale I'd write for it would come out sounding
sarcastic.
