I'm having trouble understanding what this patch actually does.  Some
little examples would be nice.

I typed in this to play with:

void foo(int a,
		int b)
{
}

but I experienced playus interruptus

akpm3:/usr/src/25> perl scripts/checkpatch.pl -f t.c
Global symbol "$c90_Keywords" requires explicit package name at scripts/checkpatch.pl line 2162.
Execution of scripts/checkpatch.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

System is Ubuntu 12.04.4 (ish).
