I can make separate patch(es) for that. And you mean helper like mpol_is_bind/default/local/preferred? I just run 'git-grep MPOL', and for places using "mode == MPOL_XXX", mostly they are in mempolicy.[ch], the only another place is in shmem.c, do we need to create all the helpers for it and the potential future users?
