Ouch, sorry, I did not understand this. So we've lost 4 weeks testing :( The core MM and ARM changes are trival, in the if-it-compiles-it-works category. Is the mm tree really the best place for this? It'll get more testing in the powerpc tree? But if you're OK with it, I'm OK with it. > By the way it doesn't apply on top of powerpc/merge branch: I guess we'll be hearing from Mark when this hits linux-next. Hopefully the resolution isn't horrible. As I'm adding this to mm.git's mm-new branch, Mark won't actually be seeing it. I'll aim to move this into mm-unstable (and hence linux-next) after just a single day.
