Changes since v1 [1]:
* Reflowed the patches on 4.10-rc8. The v1 series no longer applies
  to -mm now that the sub-section memory hotplug support has been
  deferred to 4.12 [2].

Ben notes that commit f931ab479dd2 "mm: fix devm_memremap_pages crash,
use mem_hotplug_{begin, done}" is incomplete and broken. Writes to
mem_hotplug.active_writer need to be coordinated under the device
hotplug lock. Otherwise, we can potentially corrupt mem_hotplug.refcount
leading to soft lockups.

Dan Williams (2):
      mm, devm_memremap_pages: hold device_hotplug lock over mem_hotplug_{begin,done}
      mm: validate device_hotplug is held for memory hotplug
