I thought over your requirements, but it is difficult for me to know
lots of fields in kernel, like for xen/kvm/network etc. So, to avoid
introduce bugs here, could we do this blind changes, and then change
each of fields and get owner's ack separately. 

Anyway if you still want to keep all changes in one patch, the patch may
needs long time to wait for each of reviews/acks one by one.
