Make this one tab, please.

And this one tab and two spaces, please.

All utterly trivial, of course, but I found a less trivial problem with
this patch, so I included these two comments anyway.

This will taint the kernel on module load. I guess you meant
    MODULE_LICENSE("GPL v2");

but there's no comment with some lines about the license at the top of

(Chances are that by the end of this week everybody is so tired of
messages like this that people actually check this stuff before

this year. That would be mission accomplished, I guess.)
