Subject: Re: [PATCH v12 0/7] Make cpuid <-> nodeid mapping persistent

Hi all,

These patches are used to fixing the memory allocation failure.
and it's fine from the ACPI perspective.

I hope that RJ<rjw@...ysocki.net> can apply them.

Due to these patches are also related to x86 and mm,
so, I need the ACKs from the x86 and mm maintainers.   :)

Thanks,
Dou.
