Some patches have simple defects in whitespace and formatting that
checkpatch could correct automatically. Attempt to do so.
Add a --fix option to create a "<inputfile>.EXPERIMENTAL-checkpatch-fixes"
file that tries to use normal kernel style for some of these formatting
errors.
Add warnings against using this file without verifying the changes.

Some false positives exist on this test.
For instance:
*va_arg(args, signed char *) = val.s;
or
memset(foo, 0, sizeof(struct bar *) * baz));
Ignore lines that have an arithmetic operator or assignment
after what appears to be a cast to a pointer "(foo *)".
Add $Arithmetic convenience variable.

The gcc extension for binary constants that start with 0b is only
supported with gcc version 4.3 or higher.
The kernel can still be compiled with earlier versions of gcc, so have
checkpatch emit a warning for these constants.
Restructure checkpatch's constant finding code a bit to support finding
these binary constants.

Do not bleat a message on nominally acceptable CamelCase uses that are
separated by an _ like drm_core_has_MTRR.
CamelCase tests are also a bit noisy against certain types of code

This check was intended to catch extra newlines at the end of a function
definition, but it would trigger on any closing brace, including those
of inline functions and macro definitions, triggering false positives.
Now, only closing braces on a line by themselves trigger this check.
Tested with:
$ cat test.h
/* test.h - Test file */
static inline int foo(void) { return 0; }
static inline int bar(void)
{
return 1;
}
$ ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -f test.h # Before this commit
CHECK: Blank lines aren't necessary before a close brace '}'

+static inline int foo(void) { return 0; }

Do not test udelay() for a value less than 10usec when passed a variable
instead of a hard-coded number; there is no way for checkpatch to know the
value of the variable. As it is today, it will complain about variables
with alphanumeric characters plus '_', e.g. foo_bar, but not variables
with other characters, eg. foo->bar.
