If you want to implement same thing for 5+ times, yes, it has no value
for you. Enjoy the following code in current tree:

union nf_inet_addr;
union sctp_addr;
union vxlan_addr; (in my VXLAN IPv6 patches, search email archives)
struct br_mdb_entry::addr;
union inet_addr; (in netpoll.h)

And may I tell you the last three are all from me? ;-)
