I haven't looked at the patch or anything, but I just wanted to comment on this
part. If you want/need to use the private data, you can do what several
dissectors do and save a pointer to the current private_data before replacing
the pinfo->private_data with your own, then restore the original afterwards.
One example is packet-http.c, but there are others. (search for
"save_private_data")
