This is a pointer to refcount, not refcount itself. The refcount is part of
a memory type specific struct, the types that you change in the following
three patches. I guess it would still compile and work as separate patches
but you'd sure get warnings at least.
How about merging this and the three following patches that change the memop
refcount types?
