I do not find any functions outside of the target file(s) to depend on its
fields (they cannot, the structure is opaque to them, as Joel has said).

I would find such change the same as changing xmalloc to always do xzalloc.
At least for mn10300 such change would be excessive.

(I would find OK to put xzalloc there but I do not find it right by design.)
