Thanks! I did attempt to do the merge with -next myself, and the
conflicts were pretty much trivial to handle. One I have not seen
in your messages so far is the comment added to mmdrop() on x86. The
function moves from a static inline in a header to a standard function
(in a C file), so the comment should move accordingly.

Thank you,

Mathieu
