Patch 23/26 has a lot of spaces to tabs issues that are isolated to one
file (and one patch if I read it correctly). It would definitely make
sense for those to be a comment. Especially with patch 23 being a later
patch in the patch series. Most of those issues are not fixed by this
patch series I submitted.

For the rest, I am willing to do resubmit as comments if that would be
easier for the submitter.

Please let me know if that is how I should resubmit them.

Being a patch set does makes them easier to verify. Some warnings
against the individual patches, like braces surrounding a one line in a
if block, disappear with later patches as the code is added. For
clarity for the mailing list, I used the jfern tree with the
'coresched-v8-posted-to-list'.

Thank you for your feedback.
