No, it should be fine.  It just bothers me a bit :-P

I don't know of anything off-hand that triggers it.  I just seem to recall
coming across it at some point.  I guess one could put in an assert
somewhere and do a piglit run.

Sure... I've made that argument on other linked list implementations in the
past.  Feel free to send the patch and see what the reaction is :-p

Sure.  I don't want to block on that.  I do think component_slots is
more-or-less the "correct" thing to do since it uses the exact same units
as var->data.location.

I'm not too worried about the other comments.
