Hi Felipe,
I agree important changes must be properly recorded but in this case the patch introduces only one new feature and because of the way that it is implemented using gpt8 overflow interrupt instead of mailbox to inform about the MMU Fault, the problem of the memory corruption was fixed indirectly, however these changes are part of the feature design itself and I don't see the need to split this new feature.

Saludos,
Ernesto
