The times where commas are used deliberately to replace curly braces are
just evil. Either way the code is cleaner with semi-colons.

I also found exaamples like the following to be particularly unforunate:

fprintf(stderr,
"page_nr %lu wrong count %Lu %Lu\n",
page_nr, count,
count_verify[page_nr]), exit(1);

The exit is very hard to see, unless you know to look for it.

I sent that patch last month.

I see what happened. This patch touches lib, cpupower, and selftests.
Guess lost in the limbo of who takes it.

I can take it through one of my trees.
