Why is this called "register_simple" but the unregistration function
isn't called "unregister_simple"?

Makes no sense to export a static symbol and to provide no declaration
of it in a .h file.  I assume the export was unintended.


My plot is somewhat lost.  Grant, could you please summarise in
easy-for-akpm-to-understand terms what your issues are with this
patchset and how you think we should proceed?

Thanks.
