Although field 'called' is added for notification suppressing, but I 
don't couple this field to notification suppressing.  Ideally, field 
'called' is set to 1 when the command/function is called, as comment 
says, and set back to 0 when it is done.  At this point, it has nothing 
to do with notification suppressing, and we use this field to do 
something else in a free way.

When we want to suppress notification, we make use of the feature of 
field 'called'.   I am not sure it is misleading.

If you still think it is misleading, I'd like to rename variable 
'mi_suppress_notification' to 'mi_cmd_called'.  WDYT?
