thanks! One question: After sending v2, I got an email from patchwork
pointing at some failed style checks (CHECK:PARENTHESIS_ALIGNMENT,
CHECK:COMPARISON_TO_NULL). Just so I know for the future, are these
checks mandatory to be addressed? I haven't had a chance to address
them yet. FWIW, linux-tree/scripts/checkpatch.pl did not complain.
