iirc, gregkh's requirement for staging/ is that it compile.  Nothing
more.  If you're interested, I wrote a script a while back to automate
confirming that massive code cleanup (such as changing coding style)
doesn't change the resulting object code.  It's scripts/objdiff, I used
it for the initial import of skein and threefish crypto algorithms into
staging.
