Hi Yinghai,

This patchset doesn't apply on top of tip:x86/mm2, starting at patch 08/10.

Furthermore, a lot of the descriptions are both incomplete and
incomprehensible, which makes the patchset very very hard to review.

You should think of the descriptions as writing a (short) paper on your
patchset, where you describe not just what you are doing, but how you
accomplish the objective and why that objective is the right thing do
accomplish.

Overall, this patchset seems to be going in the right direction, but I
have several concerns with details.
