    Spaces are used to indent all over the kernel; using a few spaces to pad
    out some indentation into the proper place is accepted practice,
    regardless of what CodingStyle says. The most important rule probably
    needs to be explicitly added:

    Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.[1]

    Though the first para of CodingStyle is very clear that it is a set of
    guidelines rather than strict rules.
