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.
