I'm planning to roll all these into a single commit:

acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat.patch
acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix.patch
acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix.patch
acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix-fix.patch
acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix-fix-fix.patch
acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat-fix-fix-fix-fix-fix.patch

for reasons of tree-cleanliness and to avoid bisection holes.  They're
at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/.

Can you please check the changelog for
acpi-memory-hotplug-support-getting-hotplug-info-from-srat.patch to see
if it needs any updates due to all the fixup patches?  If so, please
send me the new changelog, thanks.

Also, please review the changelogging for these:

and while we're there, let's pause to admire how prescient I was in
refusing to merge all this into 3.8-rc1 :)
