The problem is, the things like "UMH_WAIT_EXEC | UMH_KILLABLE" do not
look like enum to me, even if they both are enums and the resulting
code is correct.
OTOH, something like
enum umh_wait {
UMH_NO_WAIT,
UMH_WAIT_EXEC,
UMH_WAIT_PROC,
UMH_WAIT_EXEC_KILLABLE,
UMH_WAIT_PROC_KILLABLE,
};
doesn't look very nice/convenient too.
But. This is the cleanup, and thus it should not disturb the maintainer.
I do not mind to redo it either way, just tell me what you prefer.
This change doesn't create any dependency, it can be reverted/reworked
at any moment. It could be the last patch in series, probably I should
have sent it as 6/6.
Or,

works for me too ;)
