🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

       struct nft_set_elem {
           union {
             u32 buf[NFT_DATA_VALUE_MAXLEN / sizeof(u32)];
             struct nft_data val;
           } key;
           union {
             u32 buf[NFT_DATA_VALUE_MAXLEN / sizeof(u32)];
             struct nft_data val;
           } key_end;
           union {
             u32 buf[NFT_DATA_VALUE_MAXLEN / sizeof(u32)];
             struct nft_data val;
           } data;
           struct nft_elem_priv    *priv;
        };
