Well, you run that on:
* include/linux/bug.h,
* include/linux/compiler{,-gcc{,3,4}}.h,
* include/linux/rbtree.h,
* tools/testing/selftests,
* Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl and
* scripts/kernel-doc,
and it really starts to add up (that's currently 23 on mmotm, not including
myself). Now, add people already involved in the patch set, etc., and it
makes
its way to 30.  That's why I split the patch set up.
