Hi Greg,

I am not sure it is really necessary to remove all the trailing blank spaces
in the project. I have done a try by this shell command
$ find . -iname '*.[ch]' | xargs sed 's/\s\+$//g' -i
and find there are 2812 files/31712 lines with this issue. 

If necessary, I think it's better to run this shell code by yourself in the
whole linux-next tree and commit it. Nevertheless, the patch file of my try is
available from gist: https://gist.github.com/4225286

Even the diff summary is very large, hence I attach a simple version diff
result and commit information here.

clean all the trailing blank space by using shell command
$ find . -iname '*.[ch]' | xargs sed 's/\s\+$//g' -i

I have manually checked a random set of all the changes, and find no error.
I also compiled the whole system and tested many times by randconfig.
