Your new solution is fine, I think. I was concerned that I missed
something so obvious. I rescanned the patch-2.6.23-rc1 looking for
->status being used _outside_ of a callback and didn't see anything
else, but now I can't be sure we're clear.

It was a good thing that Pavel tracked upstream closely.
