Update: I found a reasonably working code prettifier with kernel-style
config. The disadvantage is that I'm not really able to split the
patches by type of change (indentation, spaces inside of parentheses,
vertical align...) and it did it all at once, but hopefully that is
not a big issue. You can look at it here [1] - it is 2,4MB in size of
the patch files (only the formatting changes) and I want to check it a
bit better before sending it here as emails, whether there is no new
warning in gcc, etc. But it compiles and passes xfstests, so feel free
to peek at it - I will be back online in the Monday.
