Yes. Emacs c-mode defaults to indenting like this on purpose, in order
to leave column 1 reserved for the start of a function.  Besides, things
like 'diff -p' search for content in column 1, and if top-level labels
are not indented to column 2, then they get interpreted as function
names, making the diff a bit less useful.

Libvirt has gone one step further and enforces this indentation style
during its 'make syntax-check'; I'm sure if we wanted to do likewise in
qemu, we could patch scripts/checkpatch.pl to enforce a particular
style.  But right now, I'm personally okay with not worrying about it.
