This is pretty impressive!
There was quite some feedback during the LSF/MM session, what's the current plan?
Also, it was raised that Linus so far didn't enjoy per-process page tables. Is
there a way forward?
Finally, in the LSF/MM session, there was the question why the preemption
handling is even required. Can you describe what the problem is?
