Fam,

I wonder is there anyway we could signal to patchew that there are some
acknowledged and approved coding style variances in the patch? Would
something like:

  CodingStyleExceptions: 12

Be too polluting to the commit messages? Or perhaps something that can
skip individual tests on a given run:

  CheckpatchFlags: --ignore-long-lines

Thoughts?
