Please integrate scripts/checkpatch.pl into your patch creation
workflow. Some of the warnings/errors *actually* make sense:

WARNING: quoted string split across lines
#75: FILE: drivers/acpi/numa.c:476:
+                               pr_warn("Set 'rand_mem_physical_padding=%d' "
+                                       "as the kernel parameter. "

WARNING: quoted string split across lines
#76: FILE: drivers/acpi/numa.c:477:
+                                       "as the kernel parameter. "
+                                       "Otherwise, memory hotadd may be failed.\n",

total: 0 errors, 2 warnings, 40 lines checked

Also, that sentence needs polishing:

				pr_warn("Set 'rand_mem_physical_padding=%d' to avoid memory hotadd failure.\n",
