[PATCH] Add utilities to check style

[Simo]

Well,
so here my assesment:

it is perl,
it is very kernel specific,
also it is perl,
has checks for a lot of things we really do not care for,
also... it is perl,
it seem more concerned about patch submission than style,
and it is also perl ...

So I do  not know if this tool would be really valuable, but it is
perl, and I am certainly not going to relearn that "thing" :-)

Simo.
