Thanks for pointing out the email glitches! It looks like it's making it over to
lore.kernel.org/linux-mm, but not to lkml.org, nor to the lore.kernel.org/lkml 
section either:

    https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/e389551e-32c3-c9f2-2861-1a8819dc7cc9@nvidia.com/

...and I've already checked the DKIM signatures, they're all good. So I think this
is getting narrowed down to, messages from nvidia.com (or at least from me) are not
making it onto the lkml list server.  I'm told that this can actually happen *because*
of DKIM domains: list servers may try to avoid retransmitting from DKIM domains. sigh.

Any hints are welcome, otherwise I'll try to locate the lkml admins and see what can
be done.
