Yeah, so I squashed these two patches: 09d76fc407e0: x86/mm/kaiser: Disable global pages by default with KAISER bac79112ee4a: x86/mm/kaiser: Simplify disabling of global pages into a single patch, which results in the single patch below, with an updated changelog that reflects the cleanups. I kept Dave's authorship and credited you for the simplification. Note that the squashed commit had some whitespace noise which I skipped, further simplifying the patch. Is it OK this way? If yes then I'll reshuffle the tree with this variant. Thanks, Ingo ====================>
