The idea is that we gradually bring the code closer into
line with QEMU's standards by (a) not allowing in new
code which doesn't follow the rules and (b) fixing old
code where it is in areas which a patch touches. This
gradually ratchets up the quality overall without being
huge "touch every line in a file" patches (which reduce
the functionality of git blame, among other things).

It really isn't a very onerous requirement in my opinion.
