I got a notification that this patch set was applied to mm-unstable by
Andrew. But I was wondering if Andrew and Peter would agree to move
the patches into tip's perf/core branch, given this is a dependency of
my pending uprobe series ([0]) and, as far as I'm aware, there is no
urgent need for this API in mm tree(s). If we route this through
mm-unstable, we either need a stable tag from mm tree for Peter to
merge into perf/core (a bit of a hassle for both Andrew and Peter, I'm
sure), or I'd have to wait for 5-6 weeks until after next merge window
closes, which would be a huge bummer, given I'd been at this for a
while already with basically done patches, and would prefer to get my
changes sooner.

So, I'd very much prefer to just route these changes through
perf/core, if mm folks don't oppose this? In fact, I'll go ahead and
will send my patches with Suren's patches included with the assumption
that we can reroute all this. Thanks for understanding!

P.S. And yeah, Suren's patches apply cleanly to perf/core just as
well, I checked.
