Nit, please don't bill this as a "fix". There is absolutely nothing wrong with
the existing code. I have no objection to the new code, I just don't want to
give KVM developers the impression that wrapping at ~80 chars when they feel it
makes the code more readable is somehow bad/wrong.

I'd just drop this line. The function name is being shortened; adjusting the
wrapping to account for that is completely natural and doesn't need to be called
out.
