I already have this one as x86_64-mm-introduce-used_vectors-bitmap-which-can-be-used-to-reserve-vectors.patch - part of the firstfloor tree. Thomas is going through those patches and is getting them merged up - a large batch went through today. So I assume he'll me merging this patch via that route, unless he has decided to skip it for some reason. Either way, I guess I'll hang onto the firstfloor.org leftovers until each one has some sort of definite disposition.
