This is a hard-to-judge change. With this alone, we cannot tell if
somebody has already looked at the member (and possibly saved the
pointer elsewhere) before "the next patch" starts modifying the
member in the struct. It probably should be done in a single patch
to demonstrate why it is needed and how existing users of the field
are OK with this change.
