ser module structures are not a subset of kamailio (e.g. rpc, on_break
a.s..o.).

IMHO in the future we should drop mi completely (rpc does the same
thing, it's less complex and much more easier to use).
The same should go for statistics (they need a complete rewrite, they
are paritculary performance adverse :-)).
