You need to make a decision from a run-time perspective
(that is, whether you are fine with having
ar_snoc->notifier == NULL)
If you are able to build the kernel successfully
but you get a run-time error (e.g. NULL pointer dereference),
it is even worse because run-time debugging is generally more
difficult than compile-time debugging.
