Thank you.

* Aligning function parameters in the function prototypes.
* Removing "double newlines". where checkpatch warns about them.
* Spaces between macro names, '+', and integer literals.
* Swapped out some line comments with C-style equivalent.
* Removing trailing spaces.

It seems to be a very deliberate message from checkpatch, complaining
about the alignment of the beginning of individual function parameters
in the prototype. The only two configurations which appeased it was the
changes I put in above, or a combination of hard-tabs (8-wide, noexpand)
and spaces, which I thought was ugly.
