a single Linux memory block. For example, gigantic pages in the hypervisor
result on x86-64 in a device block size of 1 GiB - when the Linux memory
block size is 128 MiB, we cannot support such devices (we fail loading the
driver). Of course, we want to support any device block size in any Linux
VM.
Bigger device block sizes will become especially important once supporting
VFIO in QEMU - each device block has to be mapped separately, and the
maximum number of mappings for VFIO is 64k. So we usually want blocks in
the gigabyte range when wanting to grow the VM big.
This series:
- Performs some cleanups
- Factors out existing Sub Block Mode (SBM)
- Implements memory hot(un)plug in Big Block Mode (BBM)
I need one core-mm change, to make offline_and_remove_memory() eat bigger
chunks.
This series is based on "next-20201009" and can be found at:

I am trying to apply this patch set, while found I can't 'git fetch' thisrepo. Is there any other repo I would apply this patch set?
Sorry I tool the wrong repo. It‘s on my github:
