Please clarify. Thanks. It's in mmots, <http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmots.git/commit/?id=7acc5207bcc2fbf0929bd3ee14c414b9defa3382>. I thought it had made it to linux-next, but failed to check that. Andrew said he'd take that patch as well as the treewide follow-up patches, to ensure they'd be applied in the right order.
