I just half-throughly waded through the sysutils/fusefs-kmod sources, and 
you're right; there's no mentioning of sizeof(struct vnode) in all of the 
preprocessed sources (at least none that I could find, directly or 
indirectly). So, if struct vnode only grows and none of the original fields 
are moved due to padding issues (or gcc reordering fields because of 
padding), the old kernel module should work unchanged.

To finish: sorry for the noise, and sorry for the panic I might've provoked.
