Never mind, it looks like the need for labels has been fixed with this commit:
commit 218dd85887da (".gitattributes: set git diff driver for C source code
files")
With this, my git at least generates diffs that don't use labels in the chunk
start, even without spaces.
Feel free to leave out the spaces, and we can remove the stragglers from
fs/dax.c at some point.
Thanks, Jean, for fixing this!
