Jason, Doug

I would like to ask to refrain from accepting checkpatch.pl patches
which are not part of other large submission. Such standalone cleanups
do more harm than actual benefit from them for old and more or less
stable code (e.g. RDMA-CM).

Let's use the opportunity to clean the code, while we are fixing bugs
and/or submitting new features.

Thanks
