Re: [PATCH v2 0/6] BorrowedPage and PageOwner

[Abdiel Janulgue <abdiel.janulgue@gmail.com>]

Just shaped up the 4th revision of scatterlist on top of these patches 
and works great. I can confirm that it is now able to directly work with 
a VVec buffer, eliminating the need for a custom vmalloc_to_page() glue. 
Will send the next revision soon after some minor clean-ups.
