I'd like to merge these up in the next few days.
UML might need some work?

Not "some work", but a lot of that. UML is currently two levels. There is a
patch from Jeff to make it three-levels, but I want it very mainline
reviewed.
The ghash replacing had at least two trivial type errors, which become
warnings.
Yes, that code is a yet unused hook, in the very moment, so it's not critical
stuff (in fact even before noticing that, UML got 0 stability problem from
the patch) but getting things reviewed by VM hackers would be nice.

I don't fully understand. Would a merge of the 4-level patches cause UML a
lot of problems? Or are you confident that we can get things patched up
fairly promptly?

Working on it, not a big deal.
It would be a bigger deal to have 4 working levels of page tables, but folding
pml4 is not hard.
