Fully agree on both.

IIRC GNU indent could not be convinced to follow QEMU style. A quick
test on target-sparc with the command
indent -kr -i4 -nut -sob -l80 -ss -ncs -il0 -cp1 -nfca -TCPUState
-TCPUSPARCState *.[ch]
is very close, but I couldn't avoid comment reformatting despite
-nfca,  indent is totally confused with helper.h and some casts get
spaces despite -ncs.
