(small request: please include diffstat output in your patches in the 
future if possible: "quilt refresh --diffstat" will do that - this way 
people will know why they were Cc:-ed)

this touches the MM:

 mm/page_alloc.c           |   10 ++++++---

but has many dependencies on ongoing arch/x86 work. Andrew, is this 
change fine with with you?
