I'm not sure about that.  I just placed my definitions where everything
else was defined.  It might make more sense to have these in
mm_types.h, though that's a separate effort.  For now, I don't think I
have a choice but to include sched.h here, but it does seem to make
sense that I should be able to see the defined mm flags from huge_mm.h,
without having to include sched.h.  I'm sure there are other places where
this applies as well.

Are you asking about the line I removed there?  That was probably an
accident.  I'll fix that
