Hi Jerome,

Thanks again for including me here. I am very interesting in discussing this,
seeing as how we're busy adding HMM support to our driver(s).

The teardown cases still concern us, as you know (today's HMM lacks
a callback for when the struct mm disappears, for example), but that's really
just a subset of the mmu_notifier discussion that you list above.

Hope to see you there.

thanks,
