Because of how patchew works, the patch email in question went through "git am",
"git push" then "git fetch", and eventually it's the output of "git show
--format=email" that is fed to checkpatch.pl. Something went wrong with these
git commands but I don't know why.  :(

To reproduce the last step (which looks the most suspicious to me, maybe you
have an idea), try this on your machine:

    $ git fetch https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu \
        patchew/address@hidden
    From https://github.com/patchew-project/qemu
     * tag               patchew/address@hidden -> FETCH_HEAD
    $ git show c19172474cd8da8375307b324344345ad7ad01ca --format=email \
        | ./scripts/checkpatch.pl -
    ERROR: Invalid UTF-8, patch and commit message should be encoded in UTF-8
    #75: FILE: contrib/libvhost-user/libvhost-user.c:9:
    + *  Marc-Andr� Lureau <address@hidden>
                  ^

    ERROR: Invalid UTF-8, patch and commit message should be encoded in UTF-8
    #1579: FILE: contrib/libvhost-user/libvhost-user.h:8:
    + *  Marc-Andr� Lureau <address@hidden>
                  ^

    total: 2 errors, 0 warnings, 1950 lines checked

    Your patch has style problems, please review.  If any of these errors
    are false positives report them to the maintainer, see
    CHECKPATCH in MAINTAINERS.
