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?
