Looks like this leaves us only with "if/else", "for", "switch" and
various forms of "for_each_*". So maybe it is worth to rewrite this
in the opposite manner? Like this:

Braces ('{' and '}') are usually placed on the same line, except the
following cases:

 - if, else, for, switch statements
 - for_each_* iterators like for_each_vcpu

There is extra space before "do/while".
