No. I'm not pulling this.

What the _h*ll_ is the point of these totally illogical and ugly files?
The name makes no sense, and the _contents_ make zero sense either.

Please. Don't add more ugly generic header files into the main include
directory. I realize that the ugliness is partly historical (that
"<linux/decompress/mm.h>" file sure as hell was messy to begin with), but
this just makes that crazy situation worse.

Clean up the mess instead of making it even less understandable. Please.
That whole "#ifdef STATIC" crap needs to go - not get spread out even
more.
