Oleg, I think this should be done first.
AFAICS, your former patches depend strongly on this change.
Without this, they don't work as you expected, and it may
prevent git-bisect.
I see, including this patch also breaks current ftrace.
Thus, IMHO, it would better to make a separate patch which just
nullifies i_private with adding some NULL checks where accessing
i_private to avoid the breakages.
This looks a bit long way round, but it ensures bisecting.
Thank you,
