You ignored my previous reply, so let me ask this again more forcefully: what the 
hell are you talking about??

As you can see it from the fine commit 9e853f2313e5:

  Tested-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@...ux.intel.com>
  Signed-off-by: Ross Zwisler <ross.zwisler@...ux.intel.com>
  Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@....de>

  [ Minor cleanups. ]
  Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@...nel.org>

I didn't do any 'collapsing' of patches, I applied the patches as sent by hch:

  9e853f2313e5 ("drivers/block/pmem: Add a driver for persistent memory")
  ec776ef6bbe1 ("x86/mm: Add support for the non-standard protected e820 type")

Thanks,

	Ingo
