  89 That's exactly what I asked him to do.  He said he's not willing to use
  90 anything for "subsystem" which can't be automatically generated.
  91
  92 The formats I mentioned because some subsystems have their own things
  93 within this format like "subsystem: driver:" or whatever.  While it's
  94 probably not an issue for the sort of patch Joe generates if we do have
  95 a tool for this I'd expect it'll go the same way that checkpatch does
  96 and get used by people doing more specific work.  It'd be good to try to
  97 head off the friction that may cause by at least having an idea how we
  98 might cope with that.
