As I went into the editor I just found the above already fixed in
#v14-pre3. And I can't move the structure into the file anymore
without kmallocing it. Exposing that structure avoids the
ERR_PTR/PTR_ERR on the retvals and one kmalloc so I think it makes the
code simpler in the end to keep it as it is now. I'd rather avoid
further changes to the 1/N patch, as long as they don't make any
difference at runtime and as long as they involve more than
cut-and-pasting a structure from .h to .c file.
