[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] checkpatch: ignore perl files.

[Jiang Biao]

Most coding styles are not suit for perl files. If we check
scripts/checkpatch.pl with itself, there would be tons of complaints.
And if we make patches for checkpatch.pl, patchew.org and
checkpatch.pl would complain errors for the patches.

Ignore perl files taking Linux kernel version as reference.
