I don't disagree that we might have to solve this cocci problem, but I
would much prefer the define over the cocci patch as it leaves the
output code closer to the input code, which can be important for some
use cases (e.g. ours - development based on a backport tree.)

So even if we can figure out how to make such a thing work with cocci,
I'd argue that we should pick the define (in this particular case.)
