Bah. Over-eager editing removed the context of that sentence.

The context was supposed to be that in the kernel, we tend to have
lots of patterns that make traditional indentation checking totally
useless: things like the "list_for_each()" macro that obviously
includes a loop in it and thus has indentation expectations.
