The checkpatch script only warns at 100 char lines these days. To be fair though
I did have two lines go over that limit by a couple characters, there are a
couple commit log typos, and I had an if keyword with no space after before the
opening parenthesis. So, I'll happily re-spin.

However, for my info going forward is the SCSI subsystem sticking to 80 char
lines as a hard limit?
