Hey Andrew, I am running my own tree (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git) > Note that the patch was merged using its old name "x86/paravirt: > Partially revert "remove lazy mode in interrupts"". The patch got > renamed to "x86/paravirt: PTE updates in k(un)map_atomic need to be > synchronous, regardless of lazy_mmu mode" and perhaps this prompted > someone to drop the old-named patch then lose the new-named one. I am at loss as why I had that patch in my tree. I *might* have merged in my #linux-next to compile/build/run-time test and then pushed that tree. But I can't recall exactly why I would have done that (the push). The fault is with me and I am sorry for making you (and Ingo) spend the whole night digging through linux-next git history to figure this out.
