Thanks for helping,

I think that you seem to do some testing with these patches on powerpc,
which shows that thp migration can be enabled relatively easily for
non-x86_64. This is a good news to me.

And I apology for my slow development over this patchset.
My previous post was about 5 months ago, and I've not done ver.2 due to
many interruptions. Someone also privately asked me about the progress
of this work, so I promised ver.2 will be posted in a few weeks.
Your patch 12/12 will come with it.

Thanks,
Naoya Horiguchi
