Thanks for reviewing.

I will check again, but I'm sure those are all deliberate. I examined all 
the "errors" and "warnings" before submitting.

checkpatch doesn't really understand the difference between whitespace 
used for indentation of statements (according to scope) and whitespace 
used for alignment of terms or parameters (when line-wrapped). Any tool 
that fails to make that distinction can't be depended upon to correctly 
validate the elisp in Documentation/CodingStyle, for example.
