There is a certain amount of flexibility in fixing style errors which
occur on a line that you are already modifying.  But your advice is good
because 1) Then the inclination is to say "please fix the alignment as
well".  2)  There is already a [PATCH 2/4] which removes these extra
parentheses so it makes more sense to do it there.  3) This patchset
will need to be redone anyway because of the white space error in
[PATCH 4/4].

So, you are right, and especially in this case you're right.  But there
are always going to be minor issues with a patch and some of them we can
let slide.

I have occasionally waited for Greg to apply a patch and then sent an
email, "Greg has already applied your patch but next time do it like
this."  :P
