Does it really work well on kvm-unit-tests?

Well I keep getting pulled up on kernel coding style on my reviews so if
we mean it we should enforce it.

I use it on new code (liberally ignoring stuff I don't think
is worth conforming to), but there's no chance it'll work on
old files (many lib files and pretty much all x86 files). So
we can't really enforce for x86 developers, as we prefer
consistency over kernel style. That said, I think mentioning
in the README that new files could use it (at least for guidance)
is a good idea.

Thanks,
drew

s/patches/files

All patches should be new :-)
