Looks to me like the first series of patches should be OK to post now. I propose that: 001-apply-to-page-range.patch 001a-reboot-use-struct.patch 002-sync-bitops.patch 003-remove-ring0-assumptions.patch 004-abstract-asm.patch 005-cpuid-cleanup.patch unfix-fixmap.patch fixmap-bootparam.patch remove-read-hazard-from-cow.patch pte-clear-not-present.patch pgd-free-mm.patch notes-segment.patch are all good candidates for posting. I just went through all these and cleaned them up a bit, mostly by adding Subject: lines and diffstats, but I also merged unfix-fixmap-fix.patch with unfix-fixmap.patch and renamed fixmap-bootparam to fixmap-bootparam.patch. Oh, and these patches seem to work OK too. I'm running my laptop with this part of the series applied, and it seems fine. Yes? No? Maybe? Post more? Post less? J
