Thanks Jason. Our two patches below were already included in the MM tree 
(https://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/). With your new hmm.git, 
does that mean HMM fixes and changes will no longer go through Andrew 
Morton but directly through your tree to Linus?

We have also applied the two patches to our internal tree which is 
currently based on 5.2-rc1 so we can make progress.

Alex, I think merging hmm would be an extra step every time you rebase 
amd-staging-drm-next. We could probably also merge hmm at other times as 
needed. Do you think this would cause trouble or confusion for 
upstreaming through drm-next?

Regards,
   Felix
