Hi David,

Thanks for your information. 
That is very useful information to me, since I am still slowly ramp-up mm work and lack
of the whole picture of mm development work. 

Just to make it more clear to me, so that means all &folio->page and like
will be taken care of with your patches for fs/, right? If so, I will skip fs
and try to work on other sub-system.
