Please don't do these kinds of pointless whitespace changes.

If you have an actual 80x25 vt100 sitting in a corner, it's not really
conducive to kernel development any more.

Yes, yes, we'd like to have shorter lines for new code, but no, don't
do silly line breaks that just makes old code look and grep worse.
