I've acked these, but only applied 1/4, because: - patch 4 needs an S-o-B line; - patch 2 can't go in before patch 4 because it depends on the new return value of p2m_pod_zero_check_superpage(); and - patch 3 can't go in before patch 2 or it removes the only caller of p2m_pod_zero_check_superpage() and breaks the build. :) If you reshuffle them as 4, 2, 3, add an S-o-B and address Andres's comment about the order constant, I'll push them straight in next time. Cheers, Tim.
