This is not necessary and ugly, nack for this patch as-is (sorry).

You can simply add this pointer to "struct ifs_data" and then
alloc it in ifs_init() before the misc_register call.

scan_chunks_sanity_check() already has a "struct ifs_data *ifsd",
so it can easily access ifs_pkg_auth through that when you make
ifs_pkg_auth part of "struct ifs_data".

Regards,

Hans
