We don't actually care about what comes out of `make namespacecheck'.  We
care about the _difference_ in its output when a patch is applied.

So a script which reports on what changes a particular patch has upon
namespacecheck output might be the way to go.  If it is fast enough then it
can be run on a per-patch basis alongside checkpatch.
