To elaborate: these kinds of patches are particularly unwelcome. In
particular, these sorts of changes make it difficult to backport later
patches to earlier kernels.

If you're doing meaningful work in these areas of code, then feel free
to change the style at the same time. If not though, it's best to leave
them alone.
