Thanks, i explained the reason during my last reply. Andrew has already picked this patch to -mm tree.Just because it's in Andrews tree doesn't mean it will end up upstream. ;) Anyhow, no really strong opinion, it's simply unnecessary code churn that makes bisecting harder without real value IMHO.
I think it's a good change - mem_sections refers to multiple instances of a mem_section. Churn is a pain, but that's the price we pay for more readable code. And for having screwed it up originally ;)
