Subject: Re: [PATCH 15/15] hmm/dummy: dummy driver for testing and showcasing
 the HMM API

Hi Jerome,

I get a compilation error when building the hmm_dummy module (undefined 
function hmm_pte_test_select).

hence hmm_pte_test_select is missing.
Removing this sanity check, the module compiles and loads correctly.

Aside from that problem, is there a userspace test available which 
interfaces with the dummy module ?

Thanks,
Sylvain
