Have you run pahole? I believe now you wasting a few more bytes
(besides the pointer requirement) due to (mis)placing a new member.

For all your work likes this as I noted in the reply to Guenter that
the couple of the selling points here are:
1) avoidance of the pointer abuse in OF table
   (we need that to be a valid pointer);
2) preservation of the const qualifier (despite kernel_ulong_t
   being used in the middle).

With that added I believe you can sell this much more easier.
