Based on the statistics, half of QEMU's files has at least one 76-79
character line. The noise from checkpatch.pl -f is actually a worse
thing than the cut-and-paste, but that's something that can be fixed in
other ways (e.g. different strictness for checkpatch.pl vs.
checkpatch.pl -f).
That said, and even though Thomas obviously hasn't read the previous
discussion, :) I do believe that 76 characters is too strict a limit.
76 would be great (two levels of email quoting are what you get 99% of
the time), and 78 would be nice, but I believe 79 provides the biggest
bang for the buck.
