So I deferred this (and the "mm, thp: fix mlock statistics" one) to
after 3.6, because Andrea indicated that they aren't critical. Now I'd
be ready to take them, but I suspect they are already in Andrew's
queue and I can forget about them.

Please holler if I need to take the two thp patches directly..
