Re: [PATCH 02/16] mm: introduce leaf entry type and use to simplify leaf entry logic

[Lorenzo Stoakes <lorenzo.stoakes@oracle.com>]

Hi Andrew,

The wonders of configs and include dependencies strikes again, could you
apply this fix-patch to declare leaf_entry_t in mm_types.h so we avoid a
later dependency issue in migrate.h?

Thanks, Lorenzo
