Hi Dan, Are you ok with this patch series? If yes I can send a non-RFC version for this series. Since we are now marking all previously created pfn_sb on ppc64 as not supported, (pfn_sb->page_size = SZ_4K) I would like to get this merged early. -aneesh "Aneesh Kumar K.V" <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > This allows us to make changes in a backward incompatible way.
