Yes, we discussed this yesterday with Simo as well and would like to
have auth_session_info fully opaque for this reason, with function
pointer-based accessors. I'll make sure there is a room in my work
queue for that as a next step.

I think we can push this patch as it would enable us to proceed with
trusts management code on FreeIPA v3 side without relying on hacked
samba builds.

Yep.
