clang-format? It's not exactly a style *checker*, but if we had a 
.clang-format config file included with DPDK, it would be easy to 1) 
format the code properly before sending out the patches, and 2) convert 
the entire DPDK codebase to the new style, should such need arise.

(also, uncrustify and other code beautifiers...)
