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.
