[RFC PATCH] checkpatch.pl: Add ability to ignore various messages

From: Joe Perches
Date: Mon Apr 25 2011 - 20:43:29 EST


Some users would like the ability to not emit some of the
messages that checkpatch produces.

Add command line option to "--ignore" various message types.
Add .checkpatch.conf file to store a default set of "ignore" flags
Categorize all ERROR, WARN and CHK types with flags.
