have you already considered further reducing the boilerplate by putting
this into it's own helper macro, so it finally would look like this ?

You've posted similar patches that also affected things like kzalloc().
Maybe for those it would be better candidates for putting everything
into its own helper macro ? (I've already got that on my 2do list, but
not sure whether maintainers really like to be bothered with those
kind of patches ;-)).
