uh, this is fallout from the akpmbot.

- Someone sent a patch which I named foo.patch

- When I applied it I saw valid checkpatch warnings, so I queed a patch to
fix them, called foo-checkpatch-fixes.patch with the intention that it later be
folded into foo.patch

- You merged foo.patch.  But foo-checkpatch-fixes.patch still applied, so I
retained it.

- I sent you the runt foo-checkpatch-fixes.patch.

Normally when this happens I'll just curse the original patch author and
drop foo-checkpatch-fixes.patch.  This time I didn't notice.

(Perhaps people should be adding a checkpatch run to their git-commit
scripts..)
