[ ... ] Hello, I was just wondering if there were any comments on the mm and x86 patches in this series, or should I send a pull request for them? Catalin has acked the ARM64 ones but we need the x86->mm code move in place before the ARM64 code is merged. The idea behind the code move was to avoid code duplication between x86 and ARM64 (and ARM).
