What about moving the initialization of `ents` above? (Or would that
be over the line limit?)

In general, I like this change (I considered asking Nathan to do the
consolidation of declaration and initialization as you've done).  The
additional part of converting from _t to struct * is less interesting
(but still ok).  It's better to be consistent within the function
scope, but this translation unit is still a mismatch of styles.  If
the goal is to avoid typedefs, consider removing them from existence
and the required work to consistently not use them throughout this
code.
