Thanks for taking this effort on.  A couple other points:

 - each patch should have a different subject prefixed with the subsystem 
   that it touches (for example: "x86: add gfp flags variant of 
   pte_alloc_one") and the maintainers should be cc'd.  Check 
   scripts/get_maintainer.pl or the MAINTAINERS file.  Also, for changes 
   that touch all arch code you'll want to cc linux-arch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
   as well.

 - each change needs to have a proper changelog prior to your
   signed-off-by line to explain why the change is being done and in 
   preparation for supporting non-GFP_KERNEL allocations from __vmalloc().
