I was actually going to mention to you guys that I've been lackadasical
about enforcing the comment style I want with the Intel drivers.

That was a mistake, I should have enforced it strictly, as I do for
the other drivers and the core networking code, from the beginning.

And it's clearly a mistake if you feel the need to take out the very
checkpatch working that's meant to enforce this comment style in all
of the networking drivers and core.

Do not revert this, follow it's advice instead.
