OK, thanks for the feedback.  Since there are no code changes,
I won't flood the list with another version with the patches divided
differently (and thanks for your help reorganizing them and your offlist
review so I know it meets your approval!); instead I will just make a
new v11 git branch.  Since kernel.org is still down, if anyone
wants to look at the latest, it can be found at:

git://oss.oracle.com/git/djm/tmem.git#frontswap-v11

I'll also be asking Stephen Rothwell to pull v11 into linux-next
because the frontswap version that is there is getting a bit stale.

Hopefully everything is finally now ready for merging for the
3.2 window!

Thanks,
Dan
