There were some late problems and I wanted x86/mm to be regression-free - we don't 
have all the 5-level paging patches applied yet so the exact cut we made at v4.12 
does not matter much - v4.13 is going to be the real deal.

Could you please make the re-application part of the remaining 5-level paging 
patches?

Thanks,
