Hi Kamezawa-san --

Domo arigato for the review and feedback!

Hmm....could you modify mm/swapfile.c and remove 'static' in the same patch ?

I separated out this header patch because I thought it would
make the key swap data structure changes more visible.  Are you
saying that it is more confusing?

Yes. I know you add a new header file which is not included but..


At reviewing patch, I check whether all required changes are done.
In this case, you turned out the function to be externed but you
leave the function definition as 'static'. This unbalance confues me.

I always read patches from 1 to END. When I found an incomplete change
in patch 1, I remember it and need to find missng part from patch 2->End. 
This makes my review confused a little.

In another case, when a patch adds a new file, I check Makefile change.
Considering dependency, the patch order should be

	[patch 1] Documentaion/Config
	[patch 2] Makefile + add new file.

But plesse note: This is my thought. Other guys may have other idea.

Thanks,
-Kame
