The patch inadvertently removed the continuation line from
LEN_CRYPTO_TO_ZERO, which makes the macro define an incomplete
expression.  I'm not sure how that could have been unclear if you've
actually looked at the offending commit or the patch section I've copied
into my post.

You might be elated to know that "git grep" exists and does that search
in a much better way.

Yes.  The three macros above these are used exactly once: the first two
in the definition of the third and the third macro in one memset.  If
the peer structure was defined a bit differently so that the ephemeral
data was encapsulated in its own type, it should be possible to use the
sizeof operator there instead of pointer arithmetic, which seems more
appropriate.  I'll note in passing that the comment announcing the end
of the ephemeral section seems to be in the wrong place as the outcount
member below it will be zeroed as well.

Go ahead and nuke them.
