Lustre's structures are a total mess of kernel and user pointers and
trying to properly mark them as which they are supposed to be at what
point in time is a very difficult task.  People keep trying and get it
wrong, so I suggest just leaving this alone until the developers unwind
the structure mess as that will be necessary for this code to get merged
into the main part of the kernel.
