I think place in each directory .indent.pro file with proper coding style
configuration and reduce Documentation/CodingStyle to how to use indent
tool can will solve many currunt problems with proper patches form and
will probaly take smaller amout disk space (or aprox the same) than
current Documentation/CodingStyle. Even if current indent can't handle
correctly current kernel coding style IMHO it will be better inves few
minutes on some changes to current indent behavior for bring this tool
abilities for reindent source code in way described in
Documentation/CodingStyle .. (?)
