How new a feature is it? Does this mean that this patch must go in before 3.8 releases or is it a fix against a patch that is only in Andrew's tree? If the patch is only in Andrew's tree, which one is it and should this be folded in as a fix? On a semi-related note; is there a plan for backporting highmem support for the LTSI kernel considering it's aimed at embedded and CMA was highlighted in their announcment for 3.4 support? -- Mel Gorman SUSE Labs
