Dave did very good review. Few other people looked to separate patches.
See Reviewed-by/Acked-by tags in patches.

It looks like most mm experts are busy with numa balancing nowadays, so
it's hard to get more review.

The patchset was mostly ignored for few rounds and Dave suggested to split
to have less scary patch number.

More review is always welcome and I'm committed to address issues.
