It's a very nice coding style. It keeps the code in pieces that are easy to grasp as units, it doesn't waste space and doesn't clutter the code at the same time.
Just take any random function from the kernel sources and ask yourself, what does it do. I think in most cases you'll find it's really obvious...
For me I find the kernel sources one of the most readable and understandable sources I've seen. The structure of them is just so clearly visible from the sources. I think a lot of that has to do with the coding style.
