Hi Anthony,

   Sorry to pick on style, but there's lots of extraneous and
inconsistent formatting in this patch.  It might be helpful to set the
tab stop to something other than 4 to make these more obvious.  It's
also important to review the patch file itself before submitting as
these kinds of changes can be more apparent when viewed on their own.

   I sometimes try to correct these on the fly before committing the
patch, but as Hollis has noted on xen-devel[1], modifying patches is not
in keeping with the Developer Certificate of Origin.  This is a general
reminder to everyone submitting patches, I'm not trying to pick on this
one in particular.  The only rule I'm trying to enforce is consistency,
preferably across a file, but at least within a function if the file
already uses mixed formatting.  Thanks,

    Alex
