Hmm.. I think it won't be ugly outside of the struct definition...
Alternatively, how about use something like

#define core_text mod_mem[MOD_MEM_TYPE_TEXT]
...

which is similar to

struct sock {
        /*
         * Now struct inet_timewait_sock also uses sock_common, so please just
         * don't add nothing before this first member (__sk_common) --acme
         */
        struct sock_common      __sk_common;
#define sk_node                 __sk_common.skc_node
#define sk_nulls_node           __sk_common.skc_nulls_node
...
};

?

Thanks,
