So there's over 1,000 such occurances in the kernel and we do not need this
drip-drip churn...

If anyone feels strongly about accepting such patches, then the right solution is
to create a Coccinelle semantic patch to run over the whole kernel and get over
with the churn once and for all.

Thanks,

Ingo
