[Qemu-devel] This patch hunk will hang scripts/checkpatch.pl...

[Peter Maydell]

The following patch file (a cut down lump of an actual change
I was making) seems to cause scripts/checkpatch.pl to hang.
I find that script too opaque to try to debug, but I post the
offending input here in case anybody else wishes to investigate.
