I don't think it's up to us to tell people what files they should run
patches on on..  That doesn't mean that pure style cleanup patches in an
area you don't understand are a good idea, so don't send them.  This is
different when you actually do a major overhaul of an area, in which
case I'd actually like to do a first pass of style cleanup and
refactoring before submitting the real work.
