Oh, wow.

You have clearly been damaged by some nasty GNU coding style or similar.

Please immediately turn tabs into 8 character hard-tabs, and read the 
kernel Documentation/CodingStyle document.

After that, you may have to go to some detox unit to purge yourself of the 
habit of 2-character indents, and I realize it will be hard and you'll 
feel like shit for a while, but you'll be a better person for it.

It's like kicking a bad drug habit. It may be painful for a while, and you 
might wistfully think back on the "happy days" when things went by in a 
haze of unclear indentations, but really, it's worth it.
