I haven't read this patch, but that comment scares the heck out of me.
Even if the patch isn't broken today, it will be tomorrow, if it's
making random changes like that in data structure semantics.
Also, if you're confused, so will be everybody else who has to deal with
the code later --- so I don't think fixing the comments and variable
names is optional.
