This patch is a *new* patch which replaced a previous *series* of patches
so it was considered a *new* standalone patch, rather than a new version 
of the original series.

This patch only addresses removal of typedefs from the declarations 
and fixes up the implmentations that relied on those typedefs. The previous
advice was to not make breaking changes across patches, so this patch 
represents code changes which are as atomic as possible in a single patch
without breaking the build. It does not mix formatting / other changes
with the code change.
