I don't think it's so simple to write a full and correct script that is worth
being stored in tree. At least, I don't have enough experience to do so.

One notable difference is that I abuse expression, instead of type. I didn't
manage to teach spatch about the includes and custom type (--all-includes
didn't work). I just tried with expression and it was happy, I haven't searched
further.

That's what I explained in the cover letter, I don't wont those to be touched,
but they would because I abuse expressions...

Sadly, my script is really far from perfect. And I don't how much time it will
take me to make it better, and if I really want to spend that time for this. In
any case, the result needs careful review. So thought it would be easier to
provide a patch that I manually changed/reviewed, rather than a full cocci
script.
