Oh, for Cthulhu sake!  So not only we had been dribbled upon with 1200-odd
piles of pointless crap, now we'll be getting yet another set of equally
pointless garbage each time a bored wanker gets to run checkpatch.pl?

Leave that alone.  In either direction.  Dipshits on quest for commit count
have enough tools already, no need to add another one...
