has no obvious style problems and is ready for submission.
Before sending this patch to the mailing list I sent it to me,
downloaded from the email, and then applied atop of the tree using git
am. Encountered no issues.
I can guess that you checked the whole file and got some issues. But
those are not related to my changes.
Thanks,
Roman
