[PATCH] checkpatch.pl skip long lines

Hi,
since the number of long lines in the linux kernel is huge and since
Greg Kroah Hartman in his google tech talk about the kernel
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2SED6sewRw) talked about probably
ignore that criteria in the future, I thought the checkpatch.pl script
should have an option to ignore checking for long lines.

This would help finding the real errors and warnings, because they don't
drown in line length warnings.
