The patches should be threaded as a reply to 3/3 of the series so I
assumed it was enough. And while Vladimir complained about 2/3 and 3/3
the discussion went on in 2/3 where he suggested to go on with the _irq

as part of swapping (allocating memory until OOM) without complains.

If Vladimir is okay with to redo and nobody else complains then I could
rebase these four patches on top of your tree next week.
