This avoids checkpatch misparsing (as statements) long function
definitions or declarations, which sometimes start with constructs
like this:
static inline int xendevicemodel_relocate_memory(
xendevicemodel_handle *dmod, domid_t domid, ...
The type xendevicemodel_handle does not conform to Qemu CODING_STYLE,
which would suggest CamelCase. However, it is a type defined by the
Xen Project in xen.git. It would be possible to introduce a typedef
to allow the qemu code to refer to it by a differently-spelled name,
but that would obfuscate more than it would clarify.
