If I've been following correctly, everyone is happy with this series.
(i.e. Linus's comment appear to have been addressed.)

Perhaps the next question is should this go via a pull request by you to
Linus directly during the v5.5 merge window, via akpm, via akpm, via
Christian, or some other path? Besides Linus, it's not been clear who
should "claim" this series. :)
