Subject: Re: [PATCH v12 0/5] Fix issues with huge mapping in ioremap for ARM64

Hi Will,

Just curious to know, is there anything that I should be addressing
in these patches ? For now, I don't see anything from my side that
requires modification, unless one has some more review comments on
this.

Status so far on and around this:
  - Status of Toshi's series of patches is still not clear to me.
    However, if this series can get through first, there won't
    be conflicting scenarios as far as arm64 is concerned.
  - I've rebased these patches on tip
  - Also re-tested these patches for long duration tests with
    1 GB mapping case also exercised enough. Test ended positively.

Thanks,
