Thanks for careful checking.

We need to make patch bisect-able to not break compiling so that people can
spot the cirminal commit, that's for sure. Do we need care about the
compiling warning from intermediate patch in one series? Not sure about
it. I always suggest people to seperate out this kind of newly added
function to a standalone patch for better reviewing and later checking,
and I saw a lot of commits like this by searching with
'git log --oneline | grep helper'
