You have certainly addressed all of my concerns, this looks really good now!

Andrew, can you add this to your -mm tree? What's your opinion on the
current state, do you think this is ready for merging in 3.1 or would
you want to have more reviews from core memory management people?

My reviews were mostly on the driver and platform API side, and I think
we're fine there now, but I don't really understand the impacts this has
in mm.
