[PATCH 0/2] checkpatch: Add support for Checkpatch-ignore patch footer

[Brendan Jackman]

Checkpatch sometimes has false positives. This makes it less useful for
automatic usage: tools like b4 [0] can run checkpatch on all of your
patches and give you a quick overview. When iterating on a branch, it's
tiresome to manually re-check that any errors are known false positives.

This patch adds a feature to record in the commit message that a patch
might produce a certain checkpatch error, and that this is an expected
false positive. Recording this information in the patch itself can also
highlight it to reviewers, so they can make a judgment as to whether
it's appropriate to ignore.
