Arrrgh! You can't be serious!



Yes, I am bloody serious; this patch might look purely cosmetic at first
sight.. yet, there's a technical reason for at least one part of it. Grep
and see the horror:

$ egrep -ni 'flavou?r' fs/nfs/inode.c
[snip]
1357: rpc_authflavor_t authflavour;
[snip]

VrGr,

I think another important issue is consistency. We should choose a style, and then stick with it.
