I think it looks odd to mix named and unnamed
initializers for the typedef and its members.

ldlm_policy_data_t is a union and it could be
explicit instead of a typedef.

Perhaps:
	static const union ldlm_policy_data lookup_policy = {
		.l_inodebits = {
			.bits = MDS_INODELOCK_LOOKUP,
		},
	};

or maybe use another DECLARE_<foo> macro indirection.
