I can try, but I have never worked with the -mm tree, so I don't even
know where to get it. Is there a webpage or archived email I can read
to understand how to get and build the -mm tree? Is it git-tracked? Or
can I just get your patches for -mm and apply them on top of the
current git?

I will try this patch
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0901.2/00164.html in
the mean time, in case that's the patch which is in -mm.
