These checks can generate infuriating false positives when your patch
modifies upstream code which has trailing or mixed whitespace in either
context or removal lines; in this case, removing a line with trailing
whitespace and replacing it with one which doesn't would generate a
warning.  Mixed whitespace is also part of some coding styles, notably the
kernel's.

Cheers,
Daniel
