I agree, I'll do that for v5.

It should always zero all other fields with such assignment, and both
are equivalent while we don't have any other fields.

Yes, I check for get_exts above it, and for !exts below it.

I think so and the changes are pretty minimal, and align with what
we currently do with sw/hw cooperation.

It is used to share the chain lookup code below without new scope or a
'?' op (e.g n ? n->chain_index : ext->chain) which I think is cleaner.
