Alexey can grab this if he wants to (or Adrian could),
but here's what Andrew Morton has to say about such patches:

http://marc.info/?l=kernel-janitor-discuss&m=117360826232574&w=2

"...I prefer not to do spello and grammaro
fixes, unless they're in something user-visible: a printk or documentation.
Simply because there would be no end to it."

Also, regardless if it is a comment or not, I think it may be a good 
idea to put such uncommon mistakes in KJ's wiki under "Spelling 
mistakes" and let it all be taken care of once in a while.

Yes, I agree with that but it then should be accessible, as with a
patchset. Or maybe the solution to this is simply to send them to the trivial
patch adress.
