Yeah, but there are still hundreds of thousands of checkpatch
violations throughout the kernel that if fixed would actually improve
readability.

The WARNING "line over 80 characters" currently accounts for 216K of
the total violations.  IMHO checkpatch should just stop complaining
about the 80 char limit since that's the main offender causing new
kernel developers to inadvertently lessen readability with their first
patch.  If the 80 char warning should be mostly ignored why have it..
it's pointless.  Increase it to a 21st century value or kill it.
