Note that clang-format cannot do everything as we want within the
kernel just yet, but it is a close enough approximation -- it is near
the point where we could simply agree to use it and stop worrying
about styling issues. However, that would mean everyone needs to have
a recent clang-format available, which I think is the biggest obstacle
at the moment.
