"enlightened", really?  Please find a different term, maybe something
like "supported".

Before posting a patch set, please look at the patches line by line,
like anyone reviewing the code needs to do.  Please minimize code
change.   Unnecessary formatting changes are unacceptible.   For
example, like the "#define", below, or in 3/3 the
"process_buffer_measurement()" change from void to int.

scripts/Lindent isn't as prevalent as it used to be, but it's still
included in Documentation/process/coding-style.rst.  Use it as a guide.
