Please just put the comments at the top of the function in cases like 
this, ie just

	/*
	 * ...
	 */
	static int __init mm_init(void)
	{
		..
	}

also, I'm now terminally confused about the whole series, so I'm wondering 
if you could re-do the series so that (a) I have a clear picture of what 
to take, and (b) preferably so it's also all bisectable (ie the trap_init 
ordering fixes are done in the initial mm/init.c changes).
