Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 0/5] shoot lazy tlbs

I'll ask Andrew to put this in -mm if no objections.

The series now doesn't touch other archs in non-trivial ways, and core code
is functionally not changed much / at all if the option is not selected so
it's actually pretty simple aside from the powerpc change.

Thanks,
Nick
