Heh.

It truly can be a bad form when combined with
long variable or function names or multiple
indirections or string constants, etc.

I chose to ignore 80 columns on the
"le32_to_cpu(desc->frag[0].addr)," argument to
dev_skb_finish_rx_dma.

It can look hideous when slavish to 80 columns.

Feel free to ignore those checkpatch warnings
when you think appropriate.

cheers, Joe
