Not sure if it'll come up again but it is generally nicer to at least
tell the subsystem maintainers that there's a patch being sent so
they're not surprised by conflicts, especially with this sort of
stylistic change where it's not something there's been much advertisment
of.  I think there's some scripts that go along with the cocci stuff to
mail things out without needing to spam everyone in one message.

/me just ran into another conflict with this which he had to think about
so is being a bit grumpy.
