Well, I'd like re-work tmem from ground also.
But currently it's too difficult for me to re-work it since I don't have
enough knowledge. It's hard for me to understand tmem quickly because of
its order of complexity and I'm not fit to its coding style.

Clean up patches will also be the first step even reworking it from
grounds unless we can start with a new better/simpler tmem.c
implementation and replace current one directly.
