Personally I just want checkpatch with its default arguments not
to complain about code that we'd be happy to accept in the tree.
It's unnecessary noise when I write and check the code locally,
when patchew runs on the patch on the list and then when it goes
into a pullreq. Do we need a new "be really strict" option?
