Hi Jan,

I've noticed that patches 1 through 12 of your series are relatively
independent, and are probably more stable than the remaining part of
the series that actually changes locking.

My dax error handling series also depends on the patches that change
zeroing in DAX (patches 5, 6, 9).

To allow the error handling stuff to move faster, can we split these
into two patchsets?

I was hoping to send the dax error handling series through the nvdimm
tree, and if you'd like, I can also prepend your patches 1-12 with my
series.

Let me know your preference.

Thanks,
