I'd rather not. It is a trivial change and can be pretty much done
mechanically. Something like (I think; I always have to look up the
sed syntax):

sed s/of_find_node_by_path\((.*)\)/of_find_node_by_path\(\1, NULL\)

If it turns out to be really painful, then I'll relent, but I'd like
you to at least try! :-)
