One thing I forgot to ask in previous response:

What about patch #1 in the series:  fix reference counting?

Andi thought this was important enough to go in to 23 as a bug fix.  I
think it's at least as important as the one you acked.  However, I don't
know that anyone has ever cited a problem with it.  Then again, they
might not notice if they occasionally leak a mempolicy struct, or use a
freed or reused one for page allocation.  I'd be happier to see it cook
in -mm for a while.  So, I'll go ahead and rebase atop Mel's patches.

Thoughts?
