It doesn't seem necessary - I believe we'll get a clean result if I
squish all of these:

mm-support-vector-address-ranges-for-process_madvise-fix.patch
mm-support-vector-address-ranges-for-process_madvise-fix-fix.patch
mm-support-vector-address-ranges-for-process_madvise-fix-fix-fix.patch
mm-support-vector-address-ranges-for-process_madvise-fix-fix-fix-fix.patch
mm-support-vector-address-ranges-for-process_madvise-fix-fix-fix-fix-fix.patch
mm-use-only-pidfd-for-process_madvise-syscall.patch

into mm-support-vector-address-ranges-for-process_madvise.patch and
make the appropriate changelog adjustments?
