I'm slightly worried about the changes to non arch code. Perhaps Andrea
or Rik can look over the mm/ changes and ack?

Other than that, and the few minor comments that popped up, this (very
nice) patchset will be very easy to merge. IIRC you mentioned it is
possible for me to get an s390 account; this will be very useful in
avoiding breaking this port, as happens quite often with ppc and ia64.
I'd like to be able to do both build and run testing.
