That exactly is touching the core point: Signed-off-by is about
transparency and taking responsibility for your actions, not hiding in
anonymity. It's a certification of whom the code came from and who would
be to blame if anything was wrong with that (think non-GPL-compatible
code taken from somewhere else).
Why should you be granted more privacy than us just because your name is
Chinese? There's quite a few Chinese IBM guys around that don't seem to
have any problem with this, and git would even handle UTF-8 characters
quite well if desired[*].

cpu-exec.c: Correct comment about this file and indentation cleanup
Each target uses the #define macro (in target-xxx/cpu.h) to rename
cpu_exec (cpu-exec.c) to cpu_xxx_exec, then defines its own cpu_loop
which calls cpu_xxx_exec. So basically, cpu-exec.c is not only the i386
emulator main execution loop. This patch corrects the comment of this
file and does indentation cleanup.
