[Qemu-devel] CHECKPATH issue

[Alex Bligh]

checkpatch seems to do different things if called with a wildcard than
just the patch file.

This is from patch 7 in a series I'm just about to post. It's
now claiming it wants no space after the *, but whilst developing
it it complained the spaces around the * did not balance (as if
it were multiplication).
