When fixing bugs found by Coverity it is best to mark these with
the Coverity number. The convention (in Linux kernel) is shown
by these examples:

    Addresses-Coverity-ID: 1476095 ("Bad bit shift operation")
    Detected by CoverityScan, CID#1476031 ("Dereference before null check")

Should this go in the style guide somewhere?
