Afaik References: is for other reading (bug reports, discussions,
other patch series), Link: is for patch submission itself (which I
think some subsystem do an entire chain of, on each revision). My
scripts aren't good enough that they add the Link: before submitting,
I add them when I apply patches (since most patches I get don't have
them anyway).

btw since the final patch to remove follow_pfn won't be ready for 5.12
merge window (kvm and vfio have some work to do) I think it's best if
you just queue this up in your tree?

Thanks, Daniel
