Hi Marcelo,

Do you plan on merging any more of the VM from Andrea in this release (or
future releases)?

Andrea said [1] that there are two patches missing: inode-highmem and
related_bhs
But he is not going to work on it for 2.4

Yes, I read this one when it was posted, but forgot the details.  It seems
that inode-highmem is relatively self contained though.

Yes, I believe I will merge inode-highmem and a few others probably.
