The above doesn't seems be used?

Is it better to rename the above to pp_memory_provider and put the
above memory_provider and mp_priv here? so that all the fields related
to pp_memory_provider are in one place?

It is probably better to provide a register function for driver
to implement its own pp_memory_provider in the future.
