Same comment as for the previous one.

If kiocb.ki_hint is not restored, the kiocb users will have to use the
kiocb ki_filp member to obtain the write hint information. In other
words, iocb->ki_hint will have to be changed into
file_inode(iocb->ki_filp)->i_write_hint. Is that what you want me to do?

Thanks,

Bart.
