Subject: Re: [RESEND2 PATCH 1/3] memremap: add MEMREMAP_WC flag

Hi Greg,

Is the documentation OK? Is there any chance of you picking up this
series?

I can rebase onto -next if that's the right place, but they still apply
on 4.5-rc4 and fix a panic, so I thought perhaps they could make 4.5.

Thanks,
Brian
