Subject: Re: [PATCH 02 of 12] Fix ia64 compilation failure because of common
 code include bug

Looks like this is not complete. There are numerous .h files missing which 
means that various structs are undefined (fs.h and rmap.h are needed 
f.e.) which leads to surprises when dereferencing fields of these struct.

It seems that mm_types.h is expected to be included only in certain 
contexts. Could you make sure to include all necessary .h files? Or add
some docs to clarify the situation here.
