Hi Dan,

are you planning to send V10 anytime soon?

After you addressed comments from Patch#9, the general implementation looks
fine to me and nothing sticked out from the other patches.
But I would rather wait to see v10 with the comments addressed before stamping
my Reviewed-by.

I am planning to fire my vmemmap patchset again [1], and I would like to re-base
it on top of this work, otherwise we will face many unnecessary collisions.

Thanks
