QEMU doesn't support the 'N' tag.
I see from the Linux kernel:

  N: Files and directories with regex patterns.
     N:   [^a-z]tegra     all files whose path contains the word tegra
     One pattern per line.  Multiple N: lines acceptable.
     scripts/get_maintainer.pl has different behavior for files that
     match F: pattern and matches of N: patterns.  By default,
     get_maintainer will not look at git log history when an F: pattern
     match occurs.  When an N: match occurs, git log history is used
     to also notify the people that have git commit signatures.

Should we add this feature to checkscript?
