That wants a comment along the lines of "guaranteed to be gap-free",
since otherwise you'd need memset() to avoid an infoleak.

Umm...  Just to clarify - do we plan to have that ever called via
ovl_real_ioctl()?  IOW, is file_dentry() anything other than a way
to spell ->f_path.dentry here?

OK as long as it stays kernel-only, but if we ever expose that to userland, we'd
better remember to turn the last two into an u32 with explicit bitmasks.
