I'd already merged the v2 patchset when you later sent out the v3
patchset which contains some of the material from v2 plus more things.

I can drop all of v2 and remerge v3.  But I see from the discussion
under "[PATCH v3 6/9] memory-hotplug: update mce_bad_pages when
removing the memory" that you intend to send out a v4 patchset.

This is all a bit of a mess.  Piecemeal picking-and-choosing of various
patches from various iterations of the same patchset is confusing and
error-prone.

Please, take a look at the current -mm tree at
http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/ then come up with a plan for us.  We can
either add new patches or we can drop old patches and replace them.
