As far as I can see, all of tcp_memcontrol.c is legacy, including the init and destroy functions. We only call them to set up the legacy tcp_mem state and do legacy jump-label maintenance. Delete it all and the unified hierarchy controller would still work. So I don't really see the benefits of consolidating it, and more risk of convoluting. That being said, if you care strongly about it and see opportunities to cut down code and make things more readable, please feel free to turn the flags -> bool patch into a followup series and I'll be happy to review it.
