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.
