I don't have any objections. I can't say that it strikes me as being a
huge deal, but (a) you've done most of the sparse annotations in the
kernel by far by now, so whatever you say matters a lot more than my gut
feel and (b) letting you get your way has historically proven to be the
right thing anyway ;)
So go wild.
