Re: [RFC] [PATCH 2/8] inode-diet: Move i_pipe into a union

Since in the next patch you did

-       if (inode->i_bdev)
+       if (S_ISBLK(inode->i_mode) && inode->i_bdev)

I am just asking, for clarity, if there were any similar lines for 
pipes that should now read S_IFIFO(inode->i_mode) too, like for bdevs.
