"RFC" always worries me. I read it as "Really Flakey Code" ;) Is it still appropriate to this patchset? I grabbed them all. Patches 1-3 look sane to me and I cheerfully didn't read the s390 changes at all. Hopefully Andrea will be able to review at least patches 1-3 for us. If that all goes well, how do we play this? I'd prefer to merge 1-3 myself, as they do interact with ongoing MM development. I can also merge 4-7 if appropriate s390 maintainer acks are seen. Or I can drop them and the s390 parts can be merged via the s390 tree at a later date?
