Well, if I run checkpatch.pl with the default, I get the 80 char limit
which I think worsens readability. I use 106 as an arbitrary placeholder
for "a bit more than 80", taken from
https://lkml.org/lkml/2009/12/17/229 . I'm reformatting to 80 columns.

Ah, that sounds much better indeed.

Will be sending v13 shortly.
