Please don't let checkpatch get in the way of lustre
readability.

lustre commonly uses very long identifiers.
Long identifiers and 80 columns don't mix well.

It might be simpler to declare in some document that
lustre uses lines of up to whatever length and require
that checkpatch should be used with the --max-line-length
option when run on lustre code.
