It's pretty automatic.

It's a trivial variant of the detypedef perl script I wrote awhile ago:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.driver-project.devel/18603


I think changing the alignment issues is better done in a
separate patch.

James isn't cc'd on these patches as he's not a listed
maintainer.  Maybe he should be added for all of it or
some part of it?

I don't know what email address James prefers as there
are several in git log for him.

James Simmons <uja.ornl@...oo.com>
James Simmons <uja.ornl@...il.com>
James Simmons <jsimmons@...radead.org>
"Simmons, James A." <simmonsja@...l.gov>

but maybe something like this:
