I prefer not to mess the definition of user API data and the kernel
driver implementation. The kernel driver may change in the future, but
the user API will remain stable for a long time.

I am neutral about whether we could remove above fields, but I need all
maintainers to agree on this, given that this has undergone five rounds
of review. :-)
