One tab here is insufficient indentation.  It should be at least two.
Some parts of the kernel insist on lining up arguments with the opening
parenthesis of the function; I don't know if mm really obeys this rule,
but you're indenting function arguments to the same level as the opening
variables of the function, which is confusing.
