Linus: for god's sake, back out the particular patch that did this!
Surely we can live with having flush() at the end of the structure?!?!

This is 2.1.x, for 2.0.x I could understand your grievance, but for
2.1.x it really isn't called for to complain about it. In fact this
is the first time I have heard anyone complain about a fundamental
structure change in 2.1.x, how come you didn't speak up during all the
dentry structure changes, why is this instance different?

It is beneficial to put it somewhere in the middle, as then you can
perform compiler warning/error message driven updates, if you put it
at the end much of the code will compiler silently.
