Hell, *NO*.  This is insane - you would need to maintain extra counts
("how many descriptors refer to this struct file... for this descriptor

Besides, _what_ private_data?  What would own and maintain it?  A specific
driver?  What if more than one of them wants that thing?

That looks like an extremely misguided kludge for hell knows what purpose,
almost certainly architecturally insane.  What are you actually trying to
