I still strongly disagree.  You add fields to every struct inode, for a
feature only used during boot time on some.  Even if you want to stick
to the ioctl interface it should be implemented as some sort of tree /
hashtable etc that can be freed after the boot is completed.

Thas is if I understood the use case correctly, actually stating it in
the patch would be highly appreciated.
