I think now is as good time as any.
the only small correction is those are LNet typedefs.
While LNet is technically part of Lustre, it's a bit of a separate
thing useful without Lustre too.

I know James is working on cleaning up LNet, but I don't know if he has
anything this would be conflicting at this moment or not.

Thanks for the patches. I wonder if you are generating them automatically?
Because it would be great if it also fixes the alignment issues
due to longer definitions, like:
--- a/drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/router_proc.c
+++ b/drivers/staging/lustre/lnet/lnet/router_proc.c
@@ -307,7 +307,7 @@ static int proc_lnet_routers(struct ctl_table *table, int 
write,
                r = the_lnet.ln_routers.next;

                while (r != &the_lnet.ln_routers) {
-                       lnet_peer_t *lp = list_entry(r, lnet_peer_t,
+                       struct lnet_peer *lp = list_entry(r, struct lnet_peer,
                                                     lp_rtr_list);
that would need a separate patch to fix later.
