OK, thanks.

Cleaning up code in include/* should face to the whole header files, not
only for mm specially. It is not suitable to only focus mm in common
shared header files for cleaning up code only.

So for me, cleaning up code in include/* is still necessary, but I shall
face to all files instead of mm related files.
