Nothing like proof by assertion, eh?

Tough. At the moment we have a rather unpleasant hole with tentative fix
that touches fs/proc/base.c. Whether you want said work postponed until all
whitespace wanking is done on file in question or not, I simply don't give
a damn - getting rid of real bug takes precedence. Whitespace crap should
be dealt with as we go through the functions containing such crap, religious
bullshit nonwithstanding.

And I very much object against completely unfounded assertions claiming
that checkpatch noise makes a useful proxy for code quality. You keep
making those again and again, without a shred of evidence to show.
