You've committed to addressing the problem of the size of struct
list_lru so

Acked-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@xxxxxxx>

It would still be nice though if the size problem was highlighted with
either a comment and/or a changelog entry describing the problem and how
you plan to address it in case it takes a long time to get fixed. If the
problem persists and we get a bug report about allocation warnings at
mount time then the notes will be available.
