[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] checkpatch.pl: make C99 comments a warning, not error
C99 comments are pretty heavilly used in QEMU, and don't violate anything mentioned in HACKING/CODING_STYLE. Make them warnings instead.

But even this pattern should be replaced by tracepoints, since they are much better. So I'd prefer to keep the ERROR.
