Can as well have a generic datastructure called hot_tree instead
of having two different datastructure which basically are the same.

might as well have just one generic datastructure called hot_item with 
all the common fields and then have 

	struct hot_inode_item  {
		struct hot_item hot_inode;
		struct hot_tree hot_range_tree;
		unsigned long i_ino;
	}

	and 

	struct hot_range_item {
		struct hot_item hot_range;
		u64 start;
		u64 len;	/* length of this range */
	}

This should help you eliminate some duplicate code as well.
