Why? This is only to make an alias to the
name of the variable.

Frankly, having code like

	tmp = recv_fd(fe->addr);
	if (tmp < 0) {
		pr_err("Can't get fd %d\n", tmp);
		return -1;
	}
	close(fe->addr);

a bit strange, why close(addr) I always asking myself???

IF there strong NAK, maybe we could use some
macro alias then?
