x86 maintainers, this series seems to be ready to me. Are there any
additional changes you are looking for?

There are a couple of small vsyscall related improvements that are based
on this series. They are completely independent of LASS, so I haven't
included them here.

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20260305232136.224922-1-hpa@zytor.com/

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/51f5dc8d-e130-4769-84e2-588553c7fde3@intel.com/

Please let me know if you would prefer that I include them at the end
and send out another version.
