Huh? How else would you do this? I'm kinda dubious about the
pattern this patch series uses of just stuffing a 32-bit board
ID number into the class_data field, to be honest -- I let that
pass partly not to hold up the series but partly because I
expect that we'll need to turn it back into a proper pointer
to a data struct soonish.
