I really hate that one. Every time we exposed the internal details to the fucking early init code, we paid for that afterwards. And this goes over the top wrt the level of details being exposed. _IF_ you want to keep that thing, move it to fs/file.c, with dire comment re that being very special shite for init and likely cause of subsequent trouble whenever anything gets changed, a gnat farts somewhere, etc. Do not leave that kind of crap sitting around init/*.c; KERNEL_DS may be a source of occasional PITA, but here you are trading it for a lot worse one in the future.
