Apart from the missing include that might be an issue in ns_common.h this looks fine to me and seems like a good cleanup overall. Afaict it even loses more code than it adds. I think resending this part separately is worth it given that we're not sure whether this series will be part of procfs or a spearate thing. This won't make it for the merge window of course but unless there are technical issues with this conversion I'd pick this up for later. Thanks! Christian
