I always wondered why that was necessary after all (with my limited fs 
knowledge :) ).

a) I assume you want to remove PPC_CMM_MAGIC from 
include/uapi/linux/magic.h as well?

b) Do we still need #include <linux/magic.h>, #include <linux/mount.h> 
and #include <linux/pseudo_fs.h>?

Apart from that looks much cleaner.
