Perhaps it is a silly question for kernel hackers, but I found it useful
for making code more readable...
Why dont you use things like:

typedef struct inode inode;
typedef struct super_block super_block;

so you can write things like

static inline inode* new_inode(super_block* cb)
{
	inode* ni;
	ni = (inode*)malloc(sizeof(inode));
	...
}

(ie, kill 'struct' visual pollution...)

??

Isn't it more readable ?

Just curious...
