Just wondering, what is the purpose of the comment /* { */ which is found in various seemingly random places in the kernel:

# grep -F -r "/* { */" *

drivers/video/font_acorn_8x8.c:/* 7B */  0x0C, 0x18, 0x18, 0x70, 0x18, 0x18, 0x0C, 0x00, /* { */
drivers/scsi/scsi_syms.c:#if defined(CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING)       /* { */
drivers/scsi/scsi.c:#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING          /* { */
drivers/scsi/scsi.c:#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_LOGGING          /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptbase.h:#ifdef __KERNEL__      /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:#ifndef MPT_SCSI_USE_NEW_EH   /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:#ifdef MPT_SCSI_USE_NEW_EH            /* { */
drivers/message/fusion/mptscsih.c:#if 0         /* { */
