Line lengths above 80 characters do exist. They are rare, but
they happen from time to time. An ignored rule is worse than an
exception to the rule, so do the latter.
Some on the list expressed their preference for a soft limit that
is slightly lower than 80 characters, to account for extra characters
in unified diffs (including three-way diffs) and for email quoting.
However, there was no consensus on this so keep the 80-character
soft limit and add a hard limit at 90.

Mixed declarations do come in handy at the top of #ifdef blocks.
Reluctantly allow this particular usage and suggest an alternative.

Yoda conditions lack readability, and QEMU has a
strict compiler configuration for checking a common
mistake like "if (dev = NULL)". Make it a written rule.

It's already allowed by the example; there are about 1800 instances in the
tree; and disallowing it would lead to
if (a) {
...
} else {
if (b) {
...
} else {
if (c) {
...
} else {
if (d) {
...
} else {
...
}
}
}
}
instead of
if (a) {
...
} else if (b) {
...
} else if (c) {
...
} else if (d) {
...
} else {
...
}
which is more readable.

In the very least, a change like this requires discussion on the list.
The naming convention is goofy and it causes a massive merge problem. Something
like this _must_ be presented on the list first so people can provide input
and cope with it.
This reverts commit 99a0949b72.

With the help of some Limoncino I noted several aspects of the QEMU coding
style, particularly where it differs from the Linux coding style as many
contributors work on both projects.
