This series tries to get checkpatch a little better at skipping
stylistic things within comments, as well as growing a new feature
to actually spell check words in the comments.

Patch 1 just cleans up the patch line-type state machine a little.

Patch 2 introduces a c/c++ comment detection state machine filter,
and plugs the infix operator whitespace detector to it.  Turns out it's
the best way of detecting infix operators in comments.

I didn't *heavily* stress test this machine, but I did use checkpatch -2000
to get some samples.

Patch 3 introduces an opt-in spell checker.  This can aid in reducing any
mispellings.  I sent something like this before, but it wasn't opt-in
at the time and it was probably a bit harder to understand then.

Aaron Conole (3):
  checkpatch: introduce constants for the parse states
  checkpatch: filter comment contents
  checkpatch: add a comment spell-checker
