Dammit, the rest of the pull looks ok, so I'll take it anyway.

But I really do expect you to

 (a) clean up that mess - maybe with my patch as an example, but maybe
some entirely different way. The patch I sent is already deleted from
my tree, it was purely meant as an example.

 (b) really push back on people when they send you ugly code

It shouldn't have to always be me being upset and pushing back on the
block pulls.
My bad, I have probably given Paolo and Luca a bit more leeway than
usual, since they are new to upstream development and the BFQ code does
need some cleanups here and there. A huge part of that was completed as
part of getting it merged, but it still needs a bit of love.

Now that they have received the Linus hazing, I guess the honey moon is
over.

In all seriousness, I do push back on crap quite often. Sometimes I miss
some too...
