But I must say mmget() vs mmgrab() is a wee bit confusing.

mm_count vs mm_users is not very clear too. :)

I was about to say, I'm not sure it's much better than mmput() vs
mmdrop() or mm_users vs mm_count either, although the way I rationalised
it was the 3 vs 4 letters:

mmget() -- mmgrab()
mmput() -- mmdrop()
  ^^^ 3      ^^^^ 4

get -> put
grab -> drop

makes sense to me... No idea about a much more clear name.
