I am going to check how many conflicts appeared in linux-next.

If there are only few then I'll take it via printk.git. This way
we get proper indentation and other changes.

If there are too many conflicts then I'll ask Linus to do a mass
change using a script.

I am sorry for late reply. I have never pushed such a mass change.
I hoped that anyone more experienced will provide some opinion ;-)
