Agree..

Hmm, I don't have a strong opinion on this either.
I agree with George's comments on the commit message. I think it
should make this code change easier to understand in the future.
(Well, the code change is not hard to understand. So the improvement
of the commit message is not that critical.)

Now it's a matter of perfection or not.
If we want a "better" commit, I don't mind reviewing a new version. I
don't think this patch has been committed yet. So the extra work is in
our side, if we want to resend the patch. The work is as follows:
1) Replace "refactor" with "clean-up" for the patch title.
2) Go through and enumerate the different clean-ups this patch does.
Explain the reason for each type of the clean-ups. For instance, why
remove the __ at the head of functions (as described in the cover
letter)

OK. We need an action.
How about: Tianyang send another version for the work listed above. I
will review it again?

Thanks,

Meng
