To promote the idea further. If you manage to create a semantic patch
for this, then you will just generate your patches automatically. You
will also be able to make it more probable that people will use this new
api by adding your semantic patch to scripts/coccinelle/api.

I do not know how many people run coccinelle, but I recently started to
check all incoming MTD patches with coccinelle before applying them. A
little bit of scripting and this becomes easy to do.
