you HAVE to set unused to 0 for now, otherwise userspace does not know
it is unused, right? And then, really it is "used", so why not just say

can never use it in the future.

I thought we were replacing [0] arrays with [], are you sure you should
be declaring this as [0]? Same for all structures in this document (and
