I rebased the -v7 branch, and it should address the comments and change log
request that I understand and agreed on.

could be found at:

        git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/yinghai/linux-yinghai.git
for-x86-boot

and it is on top of linus's tree 2013-01-14
plus tip:x86/mm, tip:x86/urgent, tip:x86/mm2

Please check if I miss anything that must be addressed.

Thanks

Yinghai
