The "no code generation differnces" is a good thing, but how was that
tested? I assume just one configuration or architecture?

Also, it bothers me a bit that some of the diff is unrelated
whitespace cleanup. I'd actually be happier with a pure scripted patch
(maybe coccinelle, maybe something else), than something that looks
like it's at least partly manual. In particular, if I can re-create
the diff with a script, I'd not have to worry about verifying it other
ways..
